Book Pairing: KOBI YAMADA
Just like you might pair a fine wine with a gourmet meal, JOYcabulary pairs together read aloud books: usually a narrative text with an informational text, or sometimes two narrative texts around a similar topic. When we pair these together, comprehension is deepened as students make connections between the two books.
This month’s book pairing focus on author KOBI YAMADA. Yamada’s books are written to inspire people of all ages, and provides readers with discussion opportunities on how to strive for greatness and overcome setbacks.
