Daily reading is one of the best ways to support reading growth. When students say they don't enjoy reading, it's usually because they haven't found the right books. Below you will find some resources to help all readers find something they enjoy. I encourage students to read a variety of genres. In addition, reading non-fiction text such as newspaper and magazine articles are especially helpful, since Informational reading tends to be challenging for most students.
Lexile.com this website will help you find books within your reading level. You do not always need to choose a book at your level. It's more important to choose what you like.
Personalized reading recommendations from the Carlsbad Library
Scholastic Books recommended reading for 5th grade.
Sora online books can be accessed through your student's SMUSD Clever account. This platform has many digital titles for free.
The Libby app allows you to check out audiobooks from your local library. I recommend students follow along with the hard copy, so students can still see the text structure. Audible Is also a great resource, but It's subscription-based.
