Read Aloud Book Titles
After learning that PNC had been awarded the NEA grant on Monday (hooray!), it was decided that the same book would be read to all primary read-alouds and another to all intermediate read-alouds. You were each charged with searching for an appropriate choice so that you could make your selection from a variety. Any titles yet? If we have titles, then we can work on obtaining multiple copies.

I saw this book at Target and I thought it would be good for intermediate grades. It's called Abe's Honest Words by Doreen Rappaport. The book tells of Abe's life and accomplishments (although it says that his father loved reading just like he did, which we learned isn't true). There are quotes from Abe on almost every page. Here's a link to it on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Abes-Honest-Words-Abraham-Lincoln/dp/1423104080/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233879995&sr=1-1
ReplyDeleteI found a book that really focuses on the lifeskill of Friendship. I am thinking that it is for grades 3-5. The book is called Abe Lincoln crosses a Crrek by Deborah Hopkinson. The book is about Abe Lincolns best friend while growing up, Benjamin Austin Gollaher. The story tells about their friendship and how Abe is saved by his friend from drowing in the creek.ISBN number 978-0-375-83768-5
ReplyDeleteI found a book called Abe Lincoln loved Animals by Ellen Jackson its more of the 3-5 grades. Its a good book but a bit long-with alot of good information.
ReplyDeleteI would like to use "Old Abe Lincoln" since I will be with pre-schoolers. I will keep looking for other options as well.
