My Fifth Grade boys (as well as girls)  loved Bud, Not Buddy as well as The
Mostly True  Adventures of Homer P.Figg.  These books are both Historical
Fiction. They are wonderful be resources for igniting an interest in the
Great Depression (Bud, Not Buddy) or the Civil War (The Mostly True
Adventures of Homer P. Figg ).

Any of the Roland Smith books, Will Hobbs books, or Ben Mikaleson books are
good.

I had a boy who did not like to read and I got him hooked on the books by
Will Hobbs.  They are full of adventure.  When I go to school tomorrow, I
will look for specific titles.

For the boys, I highly recommend Touching Spirit Bear or any Will Hobbs books.

We have gender based classes for our sixth graders. I'm trying to find some 
good reads for an all girls class as well as an all boys class. My boys group 
doesn't like to read and I need a high interest book. Any suggestions?

[MOSAIC] Sixth grade read aloud for gender classes

2011-08-21 Thread JOFFRION, SHAKITA

We have gender based classes for our sixth graders. I'm trying to find some 
good reads for an all girls class as well as an all boys class. My boys group 
doesn't like to read and I need a high interest book. Any suggestions?
