books we love…

In my first grade classroom we can’t get enough of these books…!

They are super hilarious and are helping even my most resistant readers become excited about reading. I’ve recently taken these books and created reader’s theatre scripts that we will perform in our own class, and hopefully for some of the other classes in the school as well.

The level of reading is fairly simple, but the repeated reading helps students gain fluency and expression, which are important aspects of helping students comprehend text. These books are helping everyone become better readers, the kids are having a blast, and I am cracking up at the hilarity of it all.

Yay, Mo Willems! We love your work!!
