This SF novel written by Margaret Peterson Haddix would be good for a LC. I think the students would be engaged because of the mystery of the book. The book is about siblings who are missing their mother and discover another dimension in hopes to find her. The UDL principle I would select would be highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships (3.2) due to the close relationship between the siblings. #ucflae3414su20

This poetry book written by Paul Fleischman and illustrated by Eric Beddows is designed for two voices so it would be perfect for PR in the classroom.

The UDL principle I selected was 5.3- Build fluencies with graduated levels of support for practice and performance- Which I think reading with different partners would be good practice.

This TL picture book by Jan Brett would be good for a RA. The book is about Nicki who drops his mitten while in snow. Animals slowly start to get into the mitten with each animal getting bigger than the one before. I think kids would love the illustrations of this book and it would keep them engaged during a RA.

This RF book written by Mo Williams won the Caldecott Medal in 2005 and it was well deserved.

I think this would be a great RA for the classroom. #ucflae3414su20
