Books to Hook Readers: 4th and 5th Grade
As excerpted from Teacher Magazine:
Donalyn Miller, a 6th grade language arts and social studies teacher and self-described "book whisperer," says she has yet to meet a child she couldn’t turn into a reader. On average, her students at Trinity Meadow Intermediate School in Keller, Texas, read over 50 books a year. Last year, her students received a 100 percent passing rate on the reading portion of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, with 90 percent receiving a "recommended" score.
Following are just a few books she recommends to hook readers who are in the 4th or 5th grade.
