Teacher's Choice 2011

Since 1989, the Teachers’ Choices project has developed an annual annotated reading list of new books that will encourage young people to read. These are books that kids will enjoy—and that contribute to learning across the curriculum. -- Teacher's Choice Reading List

The following books, a selection of 2011 Teacher's Choice titles, have been recently added to the juvenile circulating collection. These books are part of a selection of resources currently on reserve for Dr. Rycik's Tradebooks and Technology class.
