My goal this year?
I want to read 50 “new to me” novels and at least 10 transitional chapter books.
This honours that part of my reading is about knowing the titles that my students read and transitional chapter books are a big piece of a primary classroom’s reading soul.
I will keep track of both of them on this page
For my own future reference, books will be rated on a 5 star system.
