About this Resource
One of the most common questions we hear is, ‘What books can I use to teach this?’ or ‘Do you have any book recommendations?’. We hope that these virtual bookshelves will at least point you in the right direction. All books are linked to their GoodReads review page.
A FEW THINGS
You will notice that MEMOIR is listed with Grade 4 below. In the curriculum, it references autobiography as the genre to explore. As there are very few texts in this genre created for Grade 4 students, we feel that you could explain the difference between autobiography (the whole life of the writer) and memoir (a memory or moment from their life) and then dig further into one or more of these texts.
TRICKSTER TALES are mentioned in the Oral Language organizing idea of ELAL 5.
Please note that teachers are responsible for previewing all content before sharing with students to ensure that the text is a good fit for their teaching context.
