Welcome! |
Reading can take you places!
I love to read, and I truly believe reading can take you anywhere you want to go! That motto can be taken very literally; reading can take you to medieval times like in Avi's Crispin, real places like Alabama in Watt Key's Fourmile; it can take you to fictional lands that only exist in the author's imagination like Hogwarts in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Series or to Narnia in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia series. This motto can also be taken to mean reading can take you places in your own lives like to college and eventually to getting the job of your dreams. Reading is the key to making those goals a reality!
As our year together moves forward, I hope you will work hard to become a better reader. To practice reading and the many skills that go with it, we will read several novels, short stories, poetry, song lyrics, nonfiction texts news articles, and much more!
I look forward to learning about each of you and instilling in you a passion for reading and learning!
