Novels... By CQ

Actually I've found that a lot of novels used in 5th grade are suitable for 6th, depending on what your teaching point is...

Though I introduce protagonist, antagonist, foreshadowing, figurative language (hyperbole, assonance, etc...)...6th grade is more geared to those elements.

Must reads...Alice Through the Looking Glass, Black Beauty, Little Women, Among the Hidden, all of Lois Lowery's books, The Cay, Dancing in Cadillac Light, My Louisiana Sky...and definitely Sharon Creech's books (Ruby Hollar, Walk Two Moons, etc.). All are good for theme, foreshadowing, inferring. Margaret Taylor's books I consider a "must" for any grade. I could go on & on....but I'll stop. LOL
