Read Aloud Books for Grade 4th-8th
Hey friends!
So I LOVE books and over the last 3-4 years of teaching, I have started to kind of put books into categories based on what I feel or think as I am reading, and always take this into consideration when I pick a read aloud or create a reading unit. I still believe that students will usually LOVE the books we love, but I also know that I love books from a bunch of different genres and this can depend on grade levels.
These are some of my favorites, based on grade levels and category. No reading levels though, because I am a die-hard level rebel :).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ground work you have done here.. I am a new teacher for a combo 6/7/8 class and will be making these over the next couple days. I downloaded it on TPT but I was wondering if you had a printable for the tabs or how you did the tabs. Being a mom of 5, time is precious and it's worth a few bucks to find the quicker easier way.. 😉
How long do you plan for Wonder as a read aloud? 3-4 weeks? Do you read everyday? How long everyday?
I always feel like my read along drag for too long… but then again our days are so full!!!
Thank you for your comments and input.
