Our fourth graders need these novels because we are piloting an innovative reading curriculum entitled Wit and Wisdom. I want to touch the lives of my fourth graders through exposure and study of rich literature, rather than just reading "selections" from a basal reader. The tagline for Wit and Wisdom is "books, not basals," which speaks to me as a teacher and lover of books, a passion I want to share with my fourth graders. Through reading books like Love That Dog by Sharon Creech in module one, Hatchet in module 2, and exploring non-fiction sources such as Circulatory Story and Mountains I feel confident that I will be better able to instill a love of literature while also teaching the skills needed for the future leaders of tomorrow to succeed.
