Reading

You will need to choose an independent reading book by next Monday. Finding the right book can be difficult as not only individual interests, but also reading levels become factors in book selection.
Mrs. Riehs, Mrs. Allen and I have been talking quite a bit about how we can help with book selection.  We hope to get better at matching students with "just right books" this school year, but for now here are some sites that might assist you in finding an independent reading book:

This site from the American Library Association lists the best books for young adults since 1996.

Scholastic has a page where students share reviews on books they've read. You can search by genre or grade level.
