My Booklist

The following books are typically available in my classroom and come highly recommended. Many have won awards or received honors. They can be borrowed from our school library or your local library. It might be a good idea to read books labeled as "challenging" or "average" to your students, instead of having them read it to you. Hearing books read fluently is just as important for the students as reading it themselves!
