I am a fifth grade teacher and I am constantly trying to keep my students' hands filled with books they will devour. I made the list as a reference tool to help my students look for where they should go next. This list can be printed and hung in your classroom or printed for each student to reference when they need ideas in a certain category they love.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rebecca F. says, "INCREDIBLE! INCREDIBLE!! My students were asking me for summer recommendations (I know, right?!) and I couldn't put all of them down in time for them and then I saw this - ALSO just found out you have TONS of other resources for novel studies.... #theregoesmypaycheck."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Alexandra F. says, "This is AMAZING!! I read through the description and found myself answering "yes" to every question. I think I'll hang this above my classroom library and print out a copy for each student at the beginning of the year! This will so be perfect to have a few extras copies on hand for library days. We all have those "roamers" who need a little direction.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ M. Blanton says, "I have spent hours and hours and hours online looking up books for my children. Oh had I looked here first...! This is wonderful!! What a gift you have given so many people with this free resource! Thank you so much."
