Making Reading Fun!!
Help your child choose the best language-rich literature available
Language Rich Literature includes books that are considered “real literature.” These books use more varied language, vocabulary and sentence structure than books created simply for reading instruction.
Students should also be exposed to a variety of genres with varied points of view. Nonfiction that includes varied language, vocabulary and sentence structure is also beneficial.
