Professional Book Study:

Penny Kittle's Book Love

Now that we've studied Book Love, met virtually with Penny Kittle, spent time together brain storming, networking and creating plans for the 2016-2017 school year, it's time to begin the journey toward reading proficiency for our students together. This site will be the home for resources, updates from the field, and collaboration. We hope you'll utilize it and send us content.

Best,

Kristie Hofelich Ennis & Michelle McKelvey
