Bring Some Magic to our Classroom!

My Project

Please help me purchase engaging novels for my Language Arts class. In order to help my students improve their reading, I need to provide books that will excite them.

Harry Potter and A Wrinkle in Time are both fun books with a wide variety of language to add to their ever-expanding vocabularies.

Using the book on tape along with Harry Potter will allow them to hear complex vocabulary pronounced correctly and will help them learn to use proper pacing and tone in their own reading. We will read out loud some days, and listen on other days.
