Book+Lists

The first two documents are collective efforts by teachers at Norterra Canyon. We ask our teachers to refrain from using books that are protected for other grade levels. This guarantees that we will have several books at each grade level, for read aloud or literature studies, that the majority of our students have not yet read.

The third is adapted from a list that I found online. The characters, both fictional and real, are gifted. Gifted and talented students need to read about successful people who share their gifts and talents. The shaded areas in the chart show which appropriate grade levels.

All of the lists serve as "Wish Lists" when we purchase books in multiple copies. I order 30-35 books for whole class sets, or 7 books for small group studies. Teachers can check out the sets from the library.
