My Project

My students love to have their own copies of the books I read in class in their book boxes. I would like to add to the series of books that we read in class. The Mo books, Penny books, and George and Martha books are popular series that we study in class the second half of the year. I would like to have enough books for students to work in partnerships with these books.

These books will allow students to practice the reading skills that we are learning and practicing in class.

Having books that are accessible to students is a priority in our classroom. The more that students are able to practice reading books that are on their level, the quicker they will be able to move up reading levels.
