The new books you provided are perfect for helping students build their comprehension, expression, and fluency skills. Each story offers unique opportunities for learning — The Witches sparks discussion about imagination and character traits, Mercy Watson and Diary of a Pug encourage emerging readers to explore humor and story structure, and Peppe the Lamplighter introduces rich vocabulary and deeper themes like family and responsibility.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, reading is an interactive and joyful experience. We read aloud together, pause to discuss predictions and connections, and often pair up for partner reading. Having a variety of books at different levels allows every student to feel included and challenged, while also giving them choices that help foster a true love of reading. \r\n\r\nThank you again for making reading such an engaging and shared experience in our classroom.
