It is so important for students to be exposed to a wide range of words so that they can master expressing themselves both orally and through writing.  Sometimes, it is not enough for students to read often, but you really have to carefully select the right books that would introduce appropriate vocabulary in context for the reader. I’ve selected this group of books just for this purpose. These particular books are also helpful for teaching about poetry in terms of word choices and the emotional value of different words. Feel free to check them out or add your own choices into the comments section under this post and I’ll be happy to check those out myself.

As we are on the topic of books for your classroom library, you can see my 10 Classroom Library Tips for helpful and creative ways to have the best library for your class.
