My Project

The book set will help the students follow along as I read aloud. The students love the author, Gordon Korman, and this is one of his many great novels! We use books sets as a fun way to learn our literary skills by finding literary elements throughout the books.

My students love to read the graphic novels!

What better way to learn about history than through graphic novels? What better way to get them reading than through graphic novels? These books will help them practice their reading skills and teach them about history.
