Dyslexia-Friendly Chapter Books
Geniese Brown – EL Teacher – LaSalle Elementary School – LA34
I am requesting pairs of dyslexia-friendly chapter books for my readers in the upper grades who avoid chapter books as much as possible because they are afraid they won’t be able to read them. The books I am requesting have a different type of font and work spacing than traditional chapter books along with shorter chapters to make them easier for my struggling readers to decode and comprehend. Also, the topics are high-interest for both boys and girls, so I’m hoping to get my upper grade readers a little more excited about reading. I have requested two of each book in order for the students to be able to read them with a partner who is a reader close to their own reading level.

Alphabet Countdown
Amber Koszyk – Kindergarten – Emmons Elementary School – EM76
Each year we celebrate our Kindergartners successful year with 26 days of activities. We do an alphabet countdown at the end of the year focusing on an activity for each letter of the alphabet! The kids look forward to celebrating each day with a different letter. Alphabet Countdown days include things like Virtual Vacation Day (a virtual trip to Disney World), Glow Day, Kindness Day, Prince & Princess Day and Camping Day to name a few. This wishlist would help to provide all of the extra materials needed to put a little magic into these special days.

Momentous Events in the Life of a Cactus
Amy Gebby – Emmons Elementary School – EM77
We just finished the first book of this series and my students loved it. I would like to have the second book to read as a novel study with the class. This book has a great message for students. The book is about a girl that has no arms and she overcomes many challenges. She goes to school and has to make friends. It is hard to get students interested in good books but this book was a hit in my classroom. They were so excited when I told them there was a second and third book in the series. My students really want to read the second book. They were all so engaged in the first book. I would love a class set of these books. 27 books
