Let the Read Along Begin!

The reading schedules are now being posted.

All of the blog posts will be available here on the main page. To make it easier for you to follow your particular book, you'll find the blog postings labeled and listed at the top of the page.

Students are looking forward to a dynamic conversation with you, so please join in!
