Turtle_Hook_Readers

=Turtle Hook Readers= by C. Catalano Students love to read at the Turtle Hook Middle School Library! Every Monday afternoon students meet with Ms. Catalano, librarian at Turtle Hook, to share their love of books and reading. It is a time for students to discuss what new books they are reading individually as well as read as a group. Students as Readers is an offering of Turtle Hook University at Turtle Hook Middle School. Students are engaged as they are introduced to a new work each week. Everyone is given the opportunity to participate in the discussion and read aloud to their peers. Any student is welcome to join the group. Students love the chance to sit back, relax, and enjoy a great book! This year many exciting books have been introduced to the members of Students as Readers. They include: __Stargirl__ by Jerry Spinnelli, __Missing May__ by Cynthia Rylant, __Every Soul a Star__ by Wendy Mass, __The Boy in the Striped Pajamas__ by John Boyne, and __Savvy__ by Ingrid Law. Together the group begins and discusses each book. Members then have the opportunity to finish the book on their own. One book has really caught the attention of the group. __Ways to Live Forever__ by Sally Nicholls is a story written from the perspective of a boy dying of cancer. Students enjoy discussing each book and sharing their thoughts and feelings.
