Cynthia Rylant's Van Gogh Café is wonderful for book discussions and perfect for advanced 3rd grade readers. So is the Gold Threaded Dress by Marsden.

We are starting a new book club, enrichment program for our top 3rd grade readers. We do so much for the lower kids with interventions, etc.. that we have decided we want to do something a little extra for our top kids. This is to be a fun yet educational experience for the kids. The leader of the clubs will be the principal and the counselor, so that will make it exciting for the kids. I would like some book suggestions for these book clubs. The club will meet one time a week and then they will have outside reading on their own. The majority of the kids are on a 40 or 44 DRA level. We would like to read chapter books that will hold up for good discussions, and naturally be a good read. I was thinking Lois Lowry and EB White. Help please!! -- Elisa M. Kifer Third Grade Literacy Teacher Fox Meadow Elementary "Love of reading and writing is not taught, it is created. Love of reading and writing is not required, it is inspired. Love of reading and writing is not demanded, it is exemplified. Love of reading and writing, is not exacted, it is quickened. Love of reading and writing is not solicited, it is activated." -Russell Stauffer, 1980 _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
