They couldn't wait to share favorite parts and kept asking to read \"one more chapter.\"\r\n\r\nWhen the books arrived, the excitement was instant. Smiles, gasps, and lots of \"Can I read this one first?\" filled the room. The colorful pictures and diary-style writing pulled students in right away, especially those who sometimes struggle to find books they enjoy. It was amazing to see every student so eager to read.\r\n\r\nNext, students will use Owl Diaries to explore characters, story events, and writing their own diary entries.

These texts help students strengthen key reading skills such as determining main idea and theme, analyzing characters and events, using evidence from the text to support their thinking, and expanding vocabulary through meaningful context. Many of the books also expose students to new topics and perspectives, which helps them grow not only as readers, but as thinkers.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active and exciting part of the day. Students read independently, in pairs, and in small groups, often stopping to discuss their ideas, ask questions, or make predictions. The new books have increased student choice, which has led to higher engagement and longer reading stamina. Students are eager to pick up a book, recommend titles to their classmates, and talk about what they are reading. The classroom feels more like a community of readers every day.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who were once hesitant or struggling readers are especially enjoying these new books. Having texts that match their interests and reading levels has helped them gain confidence and take risks as readers. I have seen students proudly share favorite scenes, explain their thinking, and feel a sense of accomplishment when they finish a book.

The suspenseful plots and relatable kid narrators help students practice perseverance with longer chapter books and strengthen their comprehension stamina.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is an active and exciting experience. Students read independently, in small groups, and during read-aloud discussions where they eagerly predict outcomes and make connections to history and their own lives.
