Frindle by Andrew Clements
Nick Allen has a reputation for doing little things to annoy his teachers. In fifth grade, Nick meets his match in Mrs. Granger. She’s the toughest teacher at Lincoln Elementary School, and is known for her love of vocabulary and the dictionary. Nick challenges her by getting the entire school to call a pen a “frindle.” The name catches on, and soon Nick becomes a local hero.
Frindle is a perfect read-aloud for the beginning of the school year because it’s a quick, fun read. Students love the back-and-forth between Nick and Mrs. Granger, so this is a great book for getting reluctant readers interested in books.

Wonder by R. J. Palacio
Auggie Pullman is a 10-year-old boy living in New York City. He was born with a facial deformity that has prevented him from going to school and made it very difficult for him to make friends. Wonder begins as Auggie contemplates starting school for the first time in his life as a 5th grader. As he begins school, Auggie is faced with the challenge of making friends and dealing with bullies.
No book list is complete without Wonder. It’s truly one of my favorites and has been a student favorite every year that I’ve read it. The point of view switches several times throughout the story, giving lots of opportunities to teach literature skills. This touching story is perfect for teaching compassion and acceptance in your classroom. The follow-up book of short stories, Auggie & Me, is a must for your classroom library since it presents the bully’s side of the story.

Everything changes when Jessica joins the 7th grade class at St. Catherine’s . Jessica was badly burned in a fire and is attending the school while she is getting medical treatment. Despite her appearance, a boy named Tom befriends Jessica, and his life is changed as a result.
This book is a perfect follow-up or alternative to Wonder. It continues the themes of acceptance, empathy, and not judging one another based on appearance. Firegirl is another quick read, so it’s perfect for the last few weeks before a break.

4. Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Luke has spent the first 12 years of his life in fear and isolation due to a law limiting families to only two children. As the third child in his family, Luke is one of the “shadow children” who spend their entire lives hiding from the Population Police. He’s never been to school, the park, a birthday party, or any of the other things most 12-year-olds take for granted. Everything changes when Luke discovers another shadow child living next door. Jen has a dangerous plan to protest the population law, and wants Luke to help her.
This entire series keeps students (and me) on the edge of their seats. It’s suspenseful, dangerous, and masterfully written. I love reading the first book in a series, because students will often go on to read the rest of the series on their own. Go ahead and get the box set, because you will have a wait list of kids wanting to read the rest of these books as soon as you finish this one!

5. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
13-year-old Brian is a city-boy from New York when he boards a single-engine plane headed for Canada to spend the summer with his father in the oil fields. When the plane’s pilot suddenly dies of a heart attack, the plane crashes, and Brian finds himself stranded in the wilderness. Brian slowly begins to learn survival skills while he hopes to be rescued.
Hatchet is always a favorite of the boys in 5th grade. It’s filled with adventure, suspense, and the struggle to survive in the woods alone. The writing is very descriptive and realistic, due in part to the fact that many of its events were inspired by Gary Paulsen’s own life. (He tells the true stories that inspired all the Brian books in his book Guts.)

6.
Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
“Maniac” Magee is an orphaned boy who lives a very unhappy life with his aunt and uncle for 8 years before finally deciding to run away. Maniac eventually finds himself in a small, racially divided town. Maniac meets a girl named Amanda Beale and moves in with her family, but the family faces negativity due to his race, and he runs away again. After living with the Beales, a zookeeper, and the McNabbs, Maniac eventually finds a home with friends who become his family.
Maniac Magee is a modern classic with themes of kindness, generosity, overcoming differences, and love. While it’s set in the past, it remains relatable and easy to read, even for students without background knowledge of the time period. There are some uncomfortable moments of racial tension in the book, but these lend themselves to class discussions about respecting each other and embracing our differences.

Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick
Freak the Mighty is the story of two boys who are polar opposites, yet neither fits in with the rest of the crowd at school. Kevin, known as “Freak,” is small for his age and very intelligent. Max is bigger than all the other kids in his class but struggles in school & has trouble making friends because of his family’s past. These unlikely friends become close as they endure challenges together.
This is a simple, yet touching story with themes of friendship, bullying, and seeing people for who they truly are. This quick read is loved by students and leads to rich classroom discussion.

8. Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
Bud (do not call him Buddy!) is a 10-year-old boy on the run from a terrible foster home. Before his momma died, she left him a clue about who his father was… a flyer advertising for a famous band. Bud is sure that these flyers will lead him to his father, so he takes off in search of the band.
Students will love following Bud on his journey across Michigan in search of his father. While the story is set in 1936, it is still easily relatable to today’s students. While I normally wouldn’t suggest the audiobook in lieu of reading to your students yourself, the audio version of Bud, Not Buddy is wonderful! The music in the background. The narrator sounds just like Bud. If you’re looking for something for a listen to reading center, it’s fantastic!

9. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
This classic World War II story is told from the perspective of 10-year-old Annemarie Johansen, a Jewish girl living in Denmark. Through Annemarie’s eyes, readers learn how the Danish Resistance smuggles almost the entire Jewish population of Denmark out of the country to Sweden where they would be safe from the Nazis.
This is one of the best World War II novels I’ve read for upper elementary students. If the war is in your social studies standards, this is a must read for your class! It’s a story of strength, resilience, and human decency in the midst of this terrible war.

12 Best Read Aloud Books for Fifth Grade
Explore these 12 new read aloud books that will inspire fifth graders
It is extremely important for students in fifth grade to have access to books, especially ones that can be read aloud. 5th graders are at a crucial stage in development where they are transitioning from juvenile fiction to adult fiction. By providing them with both genres of literature, they are given the opportunity to broaden their vocabulary and improve their comprehension.
There are many different types of read-aloud books for 5th graders that can be found online or at libraries. The most important factor when selecting these texts is to make sure they match reading levels and subject matter interests while maintaining an engaging storyline. Check out our education catalogue for upcoming novels.
Sometimes it is essential to introduce a book that is slightly more challenging for an elementary student’s reading level that way they can work out the words while they are being read to and learn new vocabulary terms. Not only is reading aloud pleasurable but it also is more expressive and can allow a child to connect deeply with the characters in the story since they are hearing them acted out. Fifth graders develop good listening habits, which is important in the classroom when they need to participate in lessons.
5th grade books fall into the category of juvenile fiction and can be anything from fairy tales to stories featuring people and new places to explore. Although fiction books are more prevalent, nonfiction categories that are autobiographical can be great, especially for students who are interested in a person from history, or a modern figure that they admire.
Today, we discuss some of the most popular pieces of literature and read-aloud books for 5th graders.
1. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is an award-winning book about a boy named Brian who is stranded and struggling to survive in the wilderness.

Brian is left alone, with only his clothing and a hatchet that his mother gave him.
In addition to the tribulations of surviving in a desolate place, Brian is also carrying the weight of his parent’s divorce and his mother’s secret in his heart. With no knowledge of how to survive in the wilderness and fend for himself, will Brian make it? Will he be able to learn how to survive on his own? An inspiring story of courage, Brian’s tale is about overcoming adversity.

Auggie is now in fifth grade and he wants to be treated the same way as the other students, but his classmates cannot get over his extraordinary face.
Wonder is aimed at instilling basic yet significant values in readers. This story will teach students not to judge people based on appearance and to understand that differences are what make a person unique. Although this book is recommended for middle-grade students, it is loved by teens and a perfect choice for elementary school students too for its enlivening narrative.

Composition My favorite book on behalf of a girl
Reading books, it seems to me, is the best and most useful of all that a person can spend his leisure time on. Previously, of course, this activity was more popular, since there were not so many different gadgets in people’s lives. Now, many children will say that playing on the phone is a hundred times more interesting than reading a book.
When I read, it’s as if I’m immersed in another world, I begin to empathize with the characters in the story. I no longer care what is happening around.
I have read a great many books, but most of all I liked the fairy tale by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, namely, The Little Prince. This work attracted me with its enormous allegorical and philosophical content. The main meaning of this book is to remind adults that they, too, were children at one time, they just don’t remember it anymore. In addition, the fairy tale contains many popular expressions with an incredibly deep meaning.
It seems to me that those who do not like to read simply have not found a book to their liking. That is why, if you did not like the work, do not despair, but you need to continue the search.
Composition My favorite book on behalf of a boy
I don’t like reading enough to talk about the benefits of reading as freely as some of my classmates. Unfortunately, I do not have enough time to devote to his books, as I am a professional boxer. That is, I rarely read and only what we definitely need in the school curriculum.
And yet, there was a book that could hook me and soon became my favorite. We are talking about the novel by Daniel Defoe, known to all as “Robinson Crusoe”. This story tells us about the adventures of the protagonist, who ended up on a desert island. His main goal was not only to survive, but also to make those lands on which he found himself suitable for living. On the way Robinson encountered many difficulties and obstacles, which he successfully managed to overcome. In addition, he met a native who soon became his best friend and was named Friday. At the end of the work, the protagonist returns to England, where he is reunited with his family, for whom he was considered long dead.
I think that reading books is important and necessary. Even if you don’t have time for it. Reading enriches vocabulary, improves visual memory and enhances attentiveness.

My favorite book is \|War and Peace\| Lev Tolstoy. This is not only a book, but also a real work of art that penetrates the very depths of the reader’s soul.

Finally, I love this book because it makes you think. It has deep thoughts about life, justice and the meaning of existence. Every time I read this book, I get new thoughts and ideas.

Vladimir Ivanovich Dal in the Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language gives
definition of a book: “A book is sheets of paper or
parchment.” But for me it’s something more: the book is my friend,
lifesaver in difficult times. I even like the smell of these “stitched
sheets.”
Our

in one place, repeating his mistakes again and again, unable to overcome them.
But there is a book. It takes the reader to the time and place about which it

drawing, and create a picture based on
“Tales of the Golden Cockerel”.
Vika read a fairy tale, but I’m a picture
wrote –
And the picture is not simple,
Handmade – painted.
I also like to rhyme lines, then I share
with my teacher, which I get. The teacher often praises me, gives
adviсe. The result is the following lines:
My cockerel is golden,
He was your faithful watchman.
He was put on a spoke,
To guard the capital.
King Dadon was flattered by beauty,
He did not pay off the sage.
He did not give up the princess,
He suffered for it himself –
A cockerel pecked at the crown of the head.
We know, many are unaware –
The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it!
Good
lesson for the good guys.
That’s how they go
in my family winter evenings. Why winter? Yes, because they are long and
boring, but not in our family.
These fairy tales, what, friends,
Only my family loves?
It turned out not at all –
The whole world reads them!
Every adult and child,
Russian, German, African,
And Albanian, non-Green, –
Everyone reads them from the cradle.
I’ll tell you without a pointer:
“What a charm – these fairy tales!”
I heard it somewhere,
I must have read it in a book.
2. Student survey
My
class is my second family. It became interesting to me what our guys are readers.
To find out how the family influences the attitude of children to reading books, how to introduce
children to the world of books, ask what books students of the fifth
classes, together with a literature teacher, we developed a questionnaire “What role
occupies reading in my life?”. 11 students 5a and 5b answered the questions of the questionnaire
classes. The survey was anonymous so that the answers were honest.

General output :
my peers, unfortunately, read little in the family, most parents do not
reads with children and is not interested in reading to his children. I think that if
if the parents of these students were more active in reading, would instill a love for
reading and the book, the results of the questionnaires would be more positive. Creativity and
Walking in the fresh air is, of course, also good. But what about reading? So
way the hypothesis is proved: family reading and personal example of parents who
they themselves read a lot and instill in their children a love of reading from childhood, they can
be important for the development of children.

Memo for parents
Our dear parents, that
to captivate us children by reading books,
need to
quite a bit:
–
Read the books yourself, and we will take an example from you.
–
Help us choose books to read.
–
Read books with us regularly, re-read the books you like.
–
Share with us your impressions of the books you read.

Teach us to take good care of books.

Instill in us a love of reading books, and then books will become our faithful
friends for life.
Conclusion
Ratio
to reading is laid in the family. First of all, by their personal example, my parents
infected me with a love of books. We often read books together, discuss
books I read, re-read the books I like. I really love to read
books aloud.
