This book is for children age 8-13. This book helps children
to learn to problem solve, and teaches them how to react in challenging
situations. This book is for students with disabilities such as ADHD, Down’s
syndrome, Autism, Emotional Disturbance, and even typical children (who are
having a challenging time making “good” choices). Even though this book is able to be decoded, and children are able to read the content, it is advised to read it with or to the students, so discussion about “good” choices, and problem solving techniques are able to occur!

Autistic? How Silly is that!: I don't need labels at all - Andi Wasko

This story not only is wonderful in the classroom for
decoding, but it is a wonderful bridge into talking about labels, and how they make us feel. This is a wonderful book for brother, sisters, relatives, friends, teachers, and classmates who know someone who is labeled as “autistic”.

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! - Andi Wasko 

# data[].attributes.body
This story is a twist on a classic tale that as a young
child I enjoyed! This story is the true story of the 3 little pigs, as told by
the big bad wolf! This is a classic that young readers will enjoy being read
to, and independent readers will decode. The illustrations help decode some of
the more challenging words in the story. This timeless tale will show children
that there are two sides to every story. How do you find out which side is
true?

Could you, would you in boat? Could you, would you with a goat? In the book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Suess, it’s all about persuading poor Sam – I – am to try the delicious combination of green eggs and ham. This
text is not only fun, engaging, and lighthearted for students but a fun text for educators as well. Within the textual features the students primarily focus
on rhyming, but as you explore further there is only about 50 words used throughout the whole text. The predictable language and illustration patterns,
help students in gaining fluency and gaining confidence during their reading adventure. This text is appropriate for student’s kindergarten through second
grade.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, will there be enough room? This story is about all 26 of our lowercase letters in the alphabet and their adventure to run up the coconut tree. As the letters run up the coconut tree, the tree begins to bend, then causing all of the letters to come tumbling down. Even with the being all hurt from the fall, later when the moon comes out they decide to race up the coconut tree again. From its repetitive textual features, to the letter recognition this story allows students to focus on their most
foundational skills which is basic letter recognition and some rhyming. Students are easily engaged through the playful rhyming and actions of the letters, as well as the illustrations. This is an excellent source for students who are in preschool to first grade.

In E-mergency, the letter E has fallen down the stairs and is taken to the hospital. Unfortunately the letter E needs to take a break to recover and cannot be used. Now all the letters must make a decision on who is
going to step up to take E’s place – will it be P?

No, P is always in the bathroom, luckily since the letter O is so well rounded he decides to take E’s place. All the words that have the letter E in them are now replaced with the letter O! This text, is engaging and entertaining for a read aloud for students ranging from kindergarten through third grade. It challenges students through
their foundational phonological awareness skills specifically in spelling, decoding, letter-sound correspondence, unfamiliar vocabulary, and even rhyming! The possibilities are endless.

Enemy pie, is an amazing story that makes a wonderful unit!
This story is about a young boy who has an enemy, his father gives him advice
on how to make an enemy pie, but the boy has to do unspeakable things, such as
invite his enemy to his secret club house (where enemies are not allowed)! This
story shows how even though we may be different we can still be friends! This
story also is full of unfamiliar vocabulary, decodable texts, and is great for social discussions!
This story would be for children who can independently read, but it is also a
great book for teachers to read to younger or struggling readers! Sometimes as
teachers we get wrapped up in guided reading, text reading, and decodable reading
that we forget how pleasurable and engaging it can be when we read the stories
to our children!
