Reading is so important at any age and I am excited to share with you my favorite children books. I also have links where you can go to author's homepages and see new releases and play games with your child. It is important to show enthusiasm towards reading to your child. If your child has not found that special genre or author they absolutely love, don't give up! You wil find it out there. Let me know and I will try to help your child find different books to try out. We all have different taste in books, so please remember what you like may be different with what your child enjoys. The books I have chosen are just suggestions of books I have found in the past that students and I have enjoyed together. Please review my book list often.....I am always posting new books. Also, if you haven't viewed our media specialist Mrs. Varshavsky website please do so. She has some wonderful books sites, etc. Keep on READING!!!!!!!!!!!!![]()
