Middle elementary can be a difficult time to find engaging nonfiction reading material. Early readers are designed to be very simple and easy to read to support the beginning phonics student. However, they often don't go in-depth on a subject. There are tons of great nonfiction books written on a fifth and sixth-grade reading level. However, these books are beyond the current reading ability of many elementary students.

My middle elementary books are intended to support your readers as they transition from beginning literacy skills to being lifelong lovers of language arts.

What's special about my middle elementary nonfiction books? They are written by a teacher! These books go deep on a topic the student is interested in.

Students need repeated exposure to new vocabulary words to remember them. My books have repeated vocabulary. Key information is purposely repeated a few times throughout the text in different ways to aid in retention and understanding. Difficult concepts have been explained at an age-appropriate level. When possible real images (realia) are used. In addition to making the growing reader feel that the book is not "for little kids," research has shown real images are more effective than cutesy illustrations for learning vocabulary.

Best of all, there is additional support material available on my website that pairs perfectly with the book. Turn the book into a full-blown learning unit with ease.
