What are you going to read over the holiday?

Not sure what to read over the holiday? Here are some lists of great books to get you started.



These lists are compiled by teachers, librarians, and other experts in children's literature. They are to be taken as guides to interesting titles not as school endorsed must-read lists. Every child has different abilities and interest so please use these lists as starting point to help your child choose a book in which he or she can escape or learn something new. 
Enjoy!

Goodreads for Read Alouds

Many people have asked me for recommendations of great read alouds for their classes.

I've just started using Goodreads to share lists with you for read aloud recommendations. So far, I have started lists for grades 1-5. These are novels not picture books. Have a look and, of course, feel free to share your favorites with me and I'll add them.
