IMWAYR: For the Students

I’m reading with the students this week. We are working on nonfiction texts during library time, and these titles are interesting and make us ask, “Really?” (“Really?” Strategy from Reading Nonfiction by Kylene Beers and Bob Probst. Good stuff!) I liked this newest title from Lauren Wolk, too. Echo Mountain is coming out in April.Continue reading “IMWAYR: For the Students”
