Journey's Reading Series

In a couple of weeks our class gets the opportunity to pilot a new reading series. Iowa-Grant is in the process of researching different reading series to find for future years.  Our room will be trying out the Journey's series.

I am looking forward to trying something new, but many of the aspects will remain the same. We'll still have a story to read each week. There is a writing, vocabulary, and a grammar section each week just the old series. In early March the students may be bringing home a spelling list that looks a little different, but we'll still have spelling words just like normal too.

I have just started to look into the new book, but am looking forward to trying it. I think it'll have more stories to read each week. There also seems to be more nonfiction stories in the textbook too. I think that'll be good too, as most students primarily fiction for their independent reading.
