I was shocked by what I read. My son was in third grade. I know the books are high interest, but oh my. Really. I am all about "raising the bar". Not lowering the standard. I was appalled by what the kids were reading; many of his classmates read the book.
So.....I decided to be on a mission. I would provide my kids with QUALITY literature. I would get them books they were interested in and promote reading good books. It wasn't always easy and it seems each child liked different genres and authors!
Here is a list of some of the authors we have used. Again remember:
Vigilance. Please note: As a parent it is your responsibility to be vigilant. Please do not take these resources and use them without checking them first for your family!
