| I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe every year with my 5th graders. I liked reading it better before the movie came out, though. Also Tuck Everlasting is a favorite! Great realistic fantasy that the students really get in to. The Spiderwick Chronicles is a good one. Obviously I am a fantasy kind of girl! But every now and then a good old Beverly Cleary is fun! |

| I read Miss Spitfire to my 5th graders this past year. It's a story made from Ann Sullivan's journal entries. It would be a difficult read on their own, but read aloud they seemed to understand it. After the book was completed we watched "The Miracle Worker". The kiddos all enjoyed it. |

| Babs, Thank you so much for the recommendation of Miss Spitfire. I'm always looking for great bios for my fifth graders. I sampled this at Amazon last night and plan on ordering soon. We show The Miracle Worker every year for a holiday movie, and I think this book will give my students much more appreciation of the film. |

| I read Frindle by Andrew Clements to my 5th graders last year, and they loved it and many began checking out his other books from the library. |

| I read Petey by Ben Mikaelsen - my class was absolutely in a trance when I read. It is a sad book, I had boys with tears, but they LOVED it!!! |
