Books!

Rather than typing an email about my books for Reader's Workshop, I'll send you here instead:

It's a post I wrote about books I use for the first few days as well as novels I use in the fall.
I can also recommend, Donuthead (Sue Stauffacher), A Long Way from Chicago (Richard Peck), Love that Dog (Sharon Creech), and The Watsons Go to Birmingham (Christopher Paul Curtis). These are all excellent books to teach your workshop lessons.

This post has a list of books I've recommended for learning more about Reader's Workshop:
