[ISLMA-Share] Caudill

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I had this same issue a few years back with my HS students reading the Age
Lincoln books.
Now, our library now serves grades 6-12. So instead of ordering all of the
Caudills and Abes, I order the ones I believe will be well-received by our
students. Also I've expanded our reading challenge to other titles. It's
more work on my part, but kids are reading more.
What's our endgame? Reading Caudills or simply expanding minds through
literature? I'm going with the latter.
Best of luck!...
:) Kathy
