Leveled Readers (Step into Reading, etc).
A list of leveled reader’s we’ve read.
The Great Turkey Walk
This was a cute book! It was funny and light-hearted with bits of real life scattered throughout. And who knew that in 1863 someone actually did drive 500 turkeys from Missouri to Denver!
Hittite Warrior
I was as excited as the girls to finish this book, and every school morning started out with me reading to them while they ate breakfast. And reading, and reading and reading…
Pedro’s Journal
I intended to read this as a stand-alone “fun” book for Columbus Day, since we’re studying Ancient History right now. This was my mistake as the girls were bothered by what they learned about him…All that to say, while I thought the book was a good read and well written, it’s not one that I would take lightly.
The Kite Fighters
First of all, this is one of the few chapter books we’ve read (as a family of GIRLS!) that I think would really appeal to boys. It’s a book about boys and fighting (well, okay, kite fighting, but still).
The Prophet, the Shepherd & the Star
Grace’s Review (4th Grade): Jenny L. Cote gathers biblical information and places it into her books. I love to read it, and wish to get the whole entire series. I’m saving up my money for them. That’s how much I like them. They’re great and amazing illustrations in black, and the writing is awesome.
