Right now our class is reading the Emily Wiggins series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. We just finished Emily’s Fortune (#1) and now we’re onto Emily & Jackson Hiding Out (#2). This is a great series. Our class really recommends it. Readers that like mischief would enjoy these books.
Emily is a quiet girl whose parents have died. She has a pet turtle named Rufus. Her Uncle Victor is trying to capture her for a reward of 10 million dollars. Emily is trying to escape her Uncle Victor and reach her Aunt Hilda’s house. Our class is writing and drawing in small booklets so we can remember what is going on in the story. We are really excited to start the second book today.
We’re doing lots of reading! We have independent reading time in our classroom after snack time. We each choose a quiet place that we can do our reading and we get our book boxes that we keep our books in. We do independent reading for between 30 and 45 minutes each day.
Here are some book series we recommend:
The Berenstain Bear Chapter Books Series
Geronimo Stilton
Baseball Books
Baby Mouse
Amulet
Squish
Lunch Lady
At the end of reading time we write down what books we read that day.
You do a very good job with your reading summaries and recommendations. I think you show your love of reading very well. I, too, am a big fan of Geronimo Stilton, so maybe I’ll read one of the others you suggest! Happy reading to you all!
