Books for Student Summer Reading

Before I get started if you haven't entered my awesome Just Because Giveaway come check it out!

If you know me well, you know that I am obsessed with absolutely love donorschoose. Thanks to them and all of their wonderful donors my students have many supplies that I could never provide them with.

That being said, last year I was convinced that if I had a variety of appealing books (at the right levels of course) for my students I could create readers that were dying to read all day! And let me tell you it worked!!
(I apologize for the photo dump in advance)









All of these books can be found at Lakeshore in kits :) and they are always emailing a percentage off any purchase coupon! I only took showed one book out of each set so that you could get the idea.
My students absolutely love these books and I can't remember what I did without them!! My students beg to take these home and I'm sure your kiddos will too!! We also tell the students that if they can practice the story enough on their own and read it to us with minimal mistakes we will take a picture of them with the book to post on our wall of fame in the hall!!

(Lakeshore didn't ask me to make this post hehe it's all me)

Until Next Time...

Lakeshore is one of my favorite stores. Once I enter the store it's hard to leave.

I've never heard of Lakeshore...I'll have to check that out. I like the wall of fame idea. I've had a Wall of Wow that is similar. I could put pictures of Master Readers there! Thanks for posting great things!

These look like great books for beginning readers. It's always hard to find books that they can and want to read. Too bad we don't have Lakeshore here in Australia.
