High Interest Nonfiction Books

Help me give my students nonfiction companion books to a favorite series, "Magic Three House"! The informational companion books will continue to foster my students' curiosity about history and the natural world.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Albarran's classroom raised $385

This project is fully funded

My Project

The "Magic Tree House" series is a fan favorite in my school library. First, second, third, and fourth grade students enjoy the historical fiction series and ask for topical nonfiction books shortly after reading each installment.

These Magic Tree House Fact Tracker nonfiction companion books will continue to bolster students' curiosity in history and the natural world through informational texts designed for intermediate readers.

They will engage students in reading through an informational lens and encourage them to reach conclusions using the logic of cause and effect. These texts will also support research skill development.
