Summer Reading

Young Adult Fiction Summer Reading 

This summer I have decided to continue with my blog. I have chosen to read high-quality young adult books that are fit for 4th-8th grade students so that I can help the students in my student teaching placement choose just right books that are high quality and of interest to them. 

I have chosen to use the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)'s list of 2015 Best Fiction for Young Adult as my guide. I will attempt to read all 58 books on the list but with a full time summer camp job and an internship, I am not making any promises that I will read them all.

I will create a blog post with my review of the book as well as how I think it could work in the classroom. I will also include resources or activities that I have found that could go along with the book!

I hope you enjoy and choose some of these books for your classroom!
