I Say Yes to Fun Books By 1956BD

All reading, including fun books, builds vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. So why not fun books? I hate it when parents push the classics on a child who does not like them. It does not make our job any eaiser to turn them into lifetime readers. Isn't that our goal?

Some of my favorite fun books for third and fourth graders are;

The Monster's Ring by Bruce Coville (great Halloween read)
Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville
Flipped( told from the boy's and then the girl's viewpoint)
Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days
Top Secret ( same author of Stone Fox)
anything by Roald Dahl my favorite is George's Marvelous Medicine
Time Warp Trio series- my favorite is the one about knights
Chocolate Touch
