I LOVE having my students read in FVR (Free Voluntary Reading) time. Thanks to Bryce Hedstrom and all his help with making this accessible. Have a question about FVR? Click here! Some teachers call it SSR for Sustained Silent Reading. I just call it Free Reading.
I have downloaded all the letters to date my sponsored children from Guatemala have written to me (the others were snail mail!) Feel free to download them and use them. Heads up that this is from Compassion International which is a Christian based company so the kids' letters mention God a lot.
Book Library List.pptx(Truth: there have been so many new books coming out that I stopped updating in 2018.) I thought Mike Peto had a list but I can't find it now...
My list of FVR books! I update this whenever I come across a new one. It includes a brief description of the book and where I purchased it from (if I have it.)

I started playing around with making little readings I could show on my whiteboard using Adobe Spark. So far I just have the one.
