My Project

As my students continue to grow and excel in reading, I am in need of quality chapter books that they can read both for fun and that represent them.

My students need to have chapter books that they can relate to so that they can talk to each other about their books while deepening their reading skills.

I have been researching chapter books that are in between picture books and full chapter books. I have found two series that are interesting and reflective of my students and the experiences they have.

I am requesting eight of each in the series to add to my classroom library so they are able to have choices, as they are often checked out from our school library.
