From the bookshelf: October

Pin It Here are a few of the great books we are reading this month!

I recommend the ABC's of Halloween for preschoolers, but if you have preschool aged boys you may like Z is for Zombie better. as the item choices for the letters are more "ghoulish"!
We are also learning about fall, pumpkins and the origins of Halloween, making these other titles (below) also great choices.

TIP:  We read a few read alouds every day from our stack of books that go with our month's themes. The boys, who have special needs, especially seem to retain information better when it is presented via read alouds that are read more than once throughout the month and the girls always love story time so it is a win-win.

  2. Thanks Michelle. I find the read alouds for each season are helpful for teaching the boys (who have special needs) about the holidays and themes we are learning. The repetition of reading the books throughout the month helps with their retention.
