Popsugar Challenge 2018
All these titles are subject to change at the whims of the creature of this list/plan but here is my Popsugar Reading List for 2018. Underneath the basic list is the year plan laid out by week and there are also a few child friendly suggestions and possible picture books (but not always). Most of the chapter books will be at 4th-5th grade reading level. I am also participating in Smiling Shelves 2018 Newbery Challenge at the L'Engle Level (15-29 pts)- some may work for prompts but I will always try to have one available to read every week- it doesn't mean I will always have time to read it. It isn't laid out as nice and neat as I would have liked but I think it is a good start. Super Happy Awesome Reading to ALL!
