Marching into March with Respect

Learning about respect through books helps children to understand this important value. Stories offer relatable scenarios, characters, and experiences that children can connect with, allowing them to understand what respect truly means.

Chapter Books for the Hesitant Reader

Most of my experience as a regular education teacher has been with the upper elementary students.  As the students move into 3rd grade, they move towards reading chapter books instead of picture books.  A pattern I noticed over the years is that students enjoy having that chapter book in hand whether they can actually read it or not.  The thicker the better.  Chapter books just become “the thing” when the students get into the upper grades.
