more about Selecting Independent reading books
The Lexile FrameworkThe Lexile Framework for reading is one measure we can use to help choose books at a level that's appropriate to a student's ability. If you know your Lexile level, you can visit fab.lexile.com and follow the steps to get a list of suggestions by genre and grade. Use caution, though, as not all books are appropriate for all readers. |
Goodreads.comI use GoodReads.com to get suggestions for what to read next. It's almost like the "discover" window of Instagram, leading you to new titles to enjoy based on what you've already read. Good Reads isn't associated with our school. Please check with your parents and/or guardians find out if you have permission to open an account. |
To build your home library
Waite's Media Center has thousands of books that students may borrow. Additionally, many of our classrooms have extensive libraries, and our community has the Alondra Library, as well as a few others, close by. You also have the option to order books from Scholastic, which helps our classroom get even more books through points awarded to the class that we use to grow our library.
