This is a book by Dr. Seuss that has to do with the ABCs. Throughout this book, they go through every single letter, and use words that start with that letter. For example, for Y they said "A yawning yellow yak. Young Yolanda is yelling on its back."

The lesson that the students could take from this book is that in simplest terms this book is going in chronological order with the letters and repeating their short sounds. I would say the letter and sound and ask them to echo it back to me.

The story is about a baby Dolphin exploring the sea to find his mother and meets different animals along the way. The book then describes the animals, the baby dolphin discovers.

This book is a touch-and-feel book, it is a great multi-model book. In the Book, students learn about different animals that live in the ocean. Then they can touch the animals, feeling their different skins. In the book as well, they have some of the words in bold so it is easier to follow the story.

"Where the Sidewalk Ends" is a fan favorite when it comes to poetry. There are over 100 poems in this book along with drawings to match. These poems are full of curiosity and are so different in an amazing way.

I love how this book has many interesting scenarios and situations I could never imagine. All of these poems and drawings have a recognizable style. So when it comes to students showing that their voice can have a style that can stay consistent throughout multiple written stories.

This is a chapter book, that is my favorite series of all time. I felt like everyone could read them, it is a about a brother and sister that have a magic tree house that can take them to anytime in the past. In the first one, Jack wished he could see dinosaurs so they end up traveling to prehistoric time. Jack and Annie end up getting into some pretty dangerous situations and are trying to get back home. This is the baseline for most of the chapter books, just the places and times are different.

I would use this in a lesson by asking students to write about when and where, they would want to travel if they had a magic tree house. They would use three supporting facts to support their claim.

In this book, there is a lot of rhyming words such as claws and jaws or toes and nose. So this book would help with phonemic awareness, it would help students to hear identify sounds that are the same. I would teach this if students were having trouble with sounds of Tier one words. There is also a movie of this book, so I would first show them the movie to improve comprehension, then read to them, and then have them read to me.

Alma is a book about a little girl named Alma discovering and learning about the history behind her name. It discusses the importance of names to our identity which is an important lesson for all students to know. I would use this book in the beginning of the year when we are learning each other names.

This is a story about a girl that has unidentified dyslexia and goes through some difficult school experiences. But after she gets a new teacher, he discovers she has dyslexia and teaches her strategies on how to decode.

In a lesson, I would use the strategies that he teaches he in the book on my own students to help them decode words.

Kingdom Keepers is a book about high school kids that travel to Disney in their dreams after dark. They must come up with a plan to stop the villains from taking over Disney World.

This book has a lot of very interesting vocabulary since it is a dark fantasy chapter book. For a lesson, I would have the students read a chapter and then come in with at least three vocabulary words that they want to learn about.

In this book, there are a lot of pictures as well as word bubbles that ELLs will more deeply understand the story with the help of these text features. In a lesson, I would have each table pick a scene from the book and reenact it with peers.

In Dork Diaries is like a comic but does have some sections written normally. This series is about a girl handling many challenges that face her during her years at high school including love, bullies, family, and friendship. In this book, there are many text features that is perfect to look at.

For a lesson, I would read them a chapter and discuss how the illustrations and different text features help us understand what is happening in the story.

The lesson that I would do with this book is with ELLs I noticed that a common error with the ending -ish. I am currently working with a student who struggles with this. So it would be good for the student to hear over and over again. It would also be good if after the read aloud, to go over minimal pairs with ELLs to master the ending -ish sound.

"The Dot" a book about a student who believes that he is not an artist and cannot draw. But with the support of his teacher, shows him that he can draw, just by trying and doing his best. This would be a good social and emotional lesson for a student who is struggling to read.

For the lesson I would complete would be focused on relating this story to my student. I would focus on comprehension questions and focusing on the theme of the story. Then discussing how we can use that theme in daily life.

This book is about Jerome, who collect vocabulary words to share his ideas, feelings, and dreams. At the end, he shared his collection with others and that made him so happy. In this book, there are so many vocabulary words like torrential, symphony, and willow. I would teach the definitions of those words along with two that are the students choice.

This book would be great for students with reading difficulties because it has a matching movie that they can watch before reading. I would watch a section, read a section, and discuss a section.

This book is about a girl name Fefa who struggling to read because she has dyslexia. However, the support from her family helps her be able to read and then later on using reading she is able to save her family from a grave fate.

This book I would use to discuss growth mindset and that it is ok to not be the best but as long as you keep working on it, you can blossom. We would discuss how Fefa's mindset changes throughout the story and how that helps her achieve her goals.

This a story about a boy who doesn't feel very seen by his peers or teachers. But then a new students take notice and they become friends. As a result of this friendship, more students notice him and over time, see does feel seen and valued by his classmates.

This would be a good lesson for sequence and how the story progresses over time. I would ask how do the illustrations change over time and what does that change represent.

Stargirl is a story about a boy who meets a girl that is unusual and different from others. Her name is Stargirl and she is a girl who has been homeschooled her whole life but when she joins school, she is judged and shunned by others. But over time her individuality, changes the school for better and her differences are what make her special. I would use this book for phonological and phonemic awareness because it is a pretty basic chapter book that doesn't have many challenging words and is mostly straightforward. I would want to read a chapter to a student, then they go home and read it on their own. Then, I read it one more time and ask comprehension questions.

This a complex but great book. For this book, I would have students read a chapter, discuss what happened, and create a timeline to keep track of events that are transpiring in the story. The timeline can include quotes, pictures, bullet points, and notes.
