Don't forget to refer back to their note pages later in the Fall as they search for something else to try. Please come back anytime in the winter for MORE series searching. I can do similar lessons all day long... by genre, with nonfiction, with stand alone literature, with picture books, with poetry books... What a great substitute lesson!

Battle of the Books 2017
If you have a confirmed reader (Level P or higher) who LOVES to read, I am once again doing a long-term book club. We will meet once a month and read 8 books across the school year. This is a big commitment. I'll be starting Sept. 30, so think now of possible kids.
If you'd like to set up your OWN Battle of the Books, it's a cute way to do text-to-text comparisons while covering genres as well. No need to do it with advanced chapter books, just pick 8 really fantastic but diverse picture books and put them in a bucket. When the kids finish reading all 8, they can vote. Give them about a month to do this. Announce the winner and read that one aloud! Do it over and over...
