My Project

I am requesting copies of chapter books for our book clubs and novel studies. I would love to have more options for books for my students to read during their book club or novel study group. I chose some favorites, such as Amelia Bedelia, The Berenstain Bears, Eerie Elementary and more!

I am promoting higher reading in my classroom with chapter books.

I would love to have my students reading higher level chapter books that interest them and that they get to choose! I am asking for multiple copies of these books because my students enjoy reading together. I have my students read these aloud when working on fluency! They would adore these books.
