"Your mind is a garden and books are the seeds, so pick a favorite, and bloom as you read!" 

These beginning independent reader chapter books are perfect for your horse-loving developing reader. These are designed for 2nd grade reading level, but could easily be read by an advanced 1st grader, or beginning 3rd graders. 

We will spend the class, reading directly from the reader to each other. Student will not need their own copy of the reader, though it may be to their preference. I will provide an online image of the pages for them to read, but some student prefer to hold the book in their own hands to reading it on a screen. These books may be found at libraries and new and used bookstores. The Amazon link is: https://a.co/d/eqb3fJO.

There are 10 books in the set. We will take as much time as needed to read each book in class (This will be a learner-directed class pace). Thus, this class is ongoing until we finish all ten books. You may join the class at any time. Please email me and I will let you know what book we are currently reading. 
The order of books is as follows: 

1) Snowflake
2) Belle 
3) Fancy 
4) Penny 
5) Patch 
6) Stormy
7) Lucky 
8) Dash 
9) Diamond 
10) Starlight (current book, page 4)

Reading to peers and following along as peers read to one another is a necessary reading skill for elementary age readers. This skill will be honed while we enjoy reading about horses!
