Earth Day in April-Book List



We all know reading is important for a successful future, and we also know kids want to have FUN. TeachersAndFamilies developed TogetheRead’s monthly themes to give you ideas to have fun together as you build stronger readers.


April's theme will be TRASH, just in time for an Earth Day look at all that we throw away. You can register to receive the preview book lists for upcoming themes and share them with your school or public librarian so the books will be available in time for April.


See the Reading List for the "Garbage Goes Green" Theme for all grade levels at http://www2.teachersandfamilies.com:80/open/tr/tr-libs4.cfm?theme=32 .


Teachers know that effective readers THINK about certain things before, during, and after reading. We’ve interwoven these “reading strategies” into the TogetheRead questions and activities, so you will be building good reading skills as you talk and have fun together! You don’t have to worry about whether you are “doing it right.” Just read, talk, and enjoy!


You can find this story and more info at TogetheRead online at www.teachersandfamilies.com/open/tr1.cfm or TeachersAndFamilies.com .
