My Project

We want to have students use chapter books to do a novel study in our classrooms. Where the Red Fern Grows is a classic book that all students should have the opportunity to read. Our goal is to have a copy of the book for each student.

In order to dive deeper into the text, we want our students to be able to have the text in their hands.

Students need more time to read books that are going to stimulate their brains. Please help us give each student a copy to use throughout our novel study.
