CKLA Trade Books for 4th Graders

Help me give my students these wonderful trade books that align with the CKLA reading curriculum. Not only will my 4th graders become better readers, they will also have access to rich texts!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thomas's classroom raised $498

This project is fully funded

My Project

My school adopted a new reading curriculum this year and the trade books are not included in our supplies. I would love to be able to have them accompany our new CKLA reading program. I believe these stories are enriching and interesting for the kids. It would continue to help foster a love of reading and continue to increase their reading skills. Those skills include fluency and accuracy. It will help the kids that struggle with reading by hearing me read the stories out loud to them, so they know what stories should sound like.
