I received a Amazon Kindle from my family and it allows me to download books. In fact, I can carry hundreds of books in this little device. While looking at the books I could buy, I found one of the new Sunshine State Readers for 2011-12 school year and I downloaded it.
So if you want to know what Mrs. Appelman is reading, the book is Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper.
As I began to read, I realized I really had no idea what this story was going to be about from the story's title. We often use the title of books to predict what may happen in the story. My predictions were all wrong! So as I started to read, I had to adjust my predictions from the story and began using my questioning strategy.
I hope you have started your summer reading!!!!!!
