This beginners' reading group is for students reading at a 1st to 2nd grade reading level. Learners will read in small groups to practice fluency skills. This is a cooperative reading group with no more than 4 students to ensure each learner gets a good amount of reading time. During each meeting learners will take turns reading out loud. If time allows, will also discuss comprehension questions. Students are not required to have their own copy of each book since they will be able to read the text directly from the screen. Please be sure learners are attending on a device large enough to read text shared in zoom meeting on the screen. 

Each week, learners will read a new book in the eleven-book series. After the 11th week, we will start again at the beginning of the book list:
