Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
In kindergarten, my teacher would read this book to the class. She had props, the coconuts and tree, to show the class which I felt like really made me interested in this book. This was one of my favorite books to read on our free time, everyone fought over this book. -
Junie B. Jones
I believe I started reading this series of chapter books in 2nd grade. I even seen the Musical for a field trip and it was really engaging, bringing the stories to life. -
The Watsons Go to Birmingham
I read this book in my 6th grade English class. It was my first chapter book that I can remember, where I really had to break it down. I had different assignments as comprehension activities, something different from elementary. -
The Outsiders
I read this book in my 7th grade English class. I really enjoyed it. It grabbed my attention and was interesting. The vocabulary was not difficult and the comprehension was easy. At the end of the book we watched the movie, I really liked that. -
The Steps
I fell in love with this book and read it over and over again, I would say about 4 times. I still have this book, but at the time I was a teenager and this girl in the book really had my attention. I tried to find other books from this author, or similar books, but I never was able to. -
The Odyssey
I read this book in my 9th grade English class. I absolutely did not like this book. It was boring, it didn't have anything to draw the attention of students. It did have advanced vocabulary though. -
The Scarlett Letter
I read this book in my 10th grade English class I believe. In this class we had to do different activities that would test our reading comprehension. -
Romeo and Juliet
I read this book in 11th grade, I believe. It was such a long book. The older I got, we had to do more with the books and testing our comprehension. I liked it because it was a book classic, but at the same time it had different language and vocabulary in it to remember. -
A Long Walk to Water
Such a great book! I highly recommend this book, it made me cry. This book made me realize that we take certain things for granted, like water as the example in the book. It is a true story, so good! -
Ninth Ward
I read this book last semester for a course. I loved this book! I had not read since my junior year in high school. It was realistic, and told the story of Hurricane Katrina, from a young girls side.
