Welcome fans of the Magic Tree House book series! In this ongoing class, we will be reading a Magic Tree House book each week! 

This is a great way for children who are getting started on reading chapter books!  The Magic Tree House is a highly entertaining and educational book series that follows siblings Jack (age 8) and Annie (age 7) as they transport to different places and enter different historical periods of time.  

Because this is an ongoing class that has 40 books in the series, your student can attend as often as they would like.  Students will read the entire book before class as we will have discussion comprehension questions each week.  Discussion questions will be posted in the classroom before each class according to the chapters & book we are reading that week. 

During class students will take turns reading the last 1-2 chapters of each book, depending on the class size and time.  This will give students practice in developing strong reading and comprehension skills, as well as reading aloud in a class setting with their peers.  Patience and respect will be given to any student who struggles with reading and will be encouraged and helped along.  

These books are generally recommended for students 6-9 years old or grades 1-4.  I encourage parents to read these as I believe in open communication between children and their parents!
