 Hey guys my name is Brittany and welcome back to my youtube channel. You guys in today's video we're going to be talking all about Brielle's independent readers that I have for her this year. Are you excited Brielle? Yeah. So Brielle asked for me to have her be in this video as we share all of her independent readers. A lot of these readers that I'm going to share with you guys today are going to be mirror books and window books. Mirror books meaning that they are going to be a lot of books that Brielle can relate to. A lot of books of characters that are people like her especially young girls. So if you have any young girls a lot of these book recommendations that we're going to be sharing with you guys today will definitely be for them. So I'm sorry if you have any boys out there. I am doing my best to make sure we have a more diverse selection of literature but when it comes to Brielle's independent readers I honestly just want her to have fun and enjoy reading. So last year Brielle actually read 30 books over the course of the year. So we picked out about 30 books for her to read. These are bigger chapter books so she may not get through all of them. She may but I'm just happy we have these books on hand and we don't have to like go back and forth to the library because she didn't like that did you? She didn't like like having a timeframe for us returning library books. She kind of likes having them on hand. So I have been collecting books. So the first books I'm going to share with you guys are going to be her assigned readers. I have a few assigned readers that she's going to be reading when we get to specific historical events within our history and I really think that she can take on the challenge of having an assigned reader and doing some type of like hands-on project with these assigned readers and again if we get to all these that's good if not it's okay too. Some of these assigned readers are below her reading level which is absolutely fine. I like giving her readers that are below her reading level when it comes to us doing more things with them as far as like assigned readers. So Brielle is going to be reading the Addie series. The first three books I don't actually have it on hand because my niece is borrowing them right now so she's going to be reading those. I'm going to insert like a clip of those three books she's going to be reading when we get to like the civil wartime period within our history. I think she would definitely enjoy reading that series as an assigned reader. Another assigned reader I have for her is Sarah Plain and Tall. This is one of the sunlight readers and I definitely think she will enjoy reading this one. We have The Courage of Sarah Noble. She just has to read this one you guys. I have a Crispus Atticus and this is actually one of the readers from the Heritage Mom Blogs. Black History is American History readers and I selected a few of them for us to add into our history this year and this is just one of the books where she's going to be learning about Crispus Atticus and then another book she's going to be reading from the Heritage Mom selection is The Kidnapped Prince. I have a reader she's going to be reading for Science which is who is Catherine Johnson especially when we get into space. She will definitely love reading this and I'm going to challenge her to maybe do some type of writing assignment after she reads this book about Catherine Johnson. So these are her few independent readers that I do have that she is going to read and have like some type of assignment with but other than that the rest of literature we are going to be showing you guys are just going to be things she's going to be reading for fun. Okay Brie so you can start with your stack. Okay this is the last day of summer I already read this book. Okay yeah so that one was the Lessie Brie. So this one was the last day of summer and Brie already read this book. This is your first book for the school year right? Yeah. So she really enjoyed this one so I told her we're going to still share some of the books she already read so this one was a good one huh? Okay so I have the rest of the series of The Lemonade War. We actually read The Lemonade War for one of our readalouts and we did a brave writer literature guide with it. It was so much fun did you like that one Brie? Yes I did. So what I did was I went ahead and I got this big book that has the next two in a series which is The Lemonade Crime and the Bell Bandit. So Brie can spend her time reading these last two books on her own. I'm kind of jealous you guys I think I want to you know read the rest of it because this series was so cute. So Brie definitely has to like tell me what happened in this series. Okay Brie show them your stack. Right now I'm reading the president of the fifth grade. Okay yeah so Brie's reading the president of the fifth grade. That one looks really really good. I already have the president of the sixth grade ready for her as well. I'm going to read it second semester. You're going to read it second semester? Okay so if she gets through these she says she wants to read the president of the sixth grade. Okay so I have Operation Sisterhood. So this looks like it's a lot of fun. It's about a group of girls and you know we'll see what they get up to. So what do you have Brie? I have Doodleville. Okay let's you want to show them? Yeah Sisterhood like a lot of words. So I decided to get something a little bit different for Brie. So she's going to be reading some comics this year and I think she will enjoy them and it might give her a break from some of the bigger chapter books that she has. So I have the miscalculations of Lightning Girl and I seen who is it Jennifer. She showed this on her channel her and her daughter read this and I thought this will be a fun one especially since the girl she was homeschooled and I think that this will be a fun one for Brie. So this is a excellent middle grade reader. So we definitely will give you guys a review on all of these books after she finished reading them but for right now we're just showing you the titles. So this is the Adventures of Lightning Girl. Okay Brie, you excited to read that one? Okay what's next? Strange Birds. Strange Birds. They look like they're going to go on the big adventure. Yeah they do. That one looks good. I have Mango Delight. Okay. And this one is the James Cobb clean gift book. Okay this one is actually the second book to fast pitch and I think I shared that with you guys during our summer real out. So this is the second part that goes to it. I have the sweetest sound and this one looks so good. Okay Brie, what's next? This one is a story book and it says see me hear me hear me. I have the swagger is in the socks. This one looks so good. This one actually was a free book. Kellogg's is having like their free uh books that they're giving out when you buy a box of cereal. So this one was a free one that I picked out for Brie. So hopefully she likes this one. This one's called the Ear Miss Agnes. If you guys see my read-a-lot video you will know Brielle. She stole that one because she wanted to read it on her own so I had to re-pick another read aloud but it's perfectly fine. I think she will enjoy the year of Miss Agnes. I have Annie of West Philly and again this is like another comic book and hopefully she will enjoy it. It will introduce her to another form of writing styles or reading styles as well so yeah. This one's called Amina's Voice. Amina's Voice. Oh that looks awesome. So I have the Serpent's Fury and the Griffon's Lair. What was the first book called Breagan? First book was called... I remember a royal guide to Monster Slayin. Brielle read that over the summer so I went on Amazon. I bought her the next two books of that series so she can like read those so you're excited about these Brielle? This was definitely different because it was like fantasy uh and Brielle this was her first time being introduced to like monsters, dragons, all that type of thing in literature and she really really enjoyed it. Yeah. Yeah you did okay. All right go ahead. This one's called Like a Magic. Like a Magic. I have the only black girls in town. This one's called Just Like Jillian. Okay something to say. The first rule of punk. All right and I'm gonna let Brielle share the last two books that I have selected out for her independent readers. These are caught the book wonderers. The book wonderers so I'm really excited for Brielle to read these. I think we do have Anna Green Gables is like the only series she hasn't read. Hopefully she can still read these and have fun even though she hasn't read the Anne you know Anna Green Gables literature so I'm really excited for her to read this series. So you guys this is like all of Brielle's independent readers. We are so excited about all the selections and I really hope we can come back to you guys with like a review at the end of the year and she can kind of share some of her favorites.
