Reading books teachers can use to make lessons for children.  Being retired from the education field I am so used to reading and choosing library books for classroom use.  I as an adult like children's books and so I decided to review books on Amazon and for another company.Here is an example of a book that I read that can easily be used for lessons at Halloween.  The title of the book is The Halloween Queen who lost her scream by Donna Davies.  The book has beautiful pictures and an excellent use of vocabulary.
I would reuse this book for younger grade children by having them identify rhyming words.  I would have older children enhance their vocabulary by learning new words by taking sentences from the book and learning the word's meaning by how it is used.  A good site for new books that I like to use as a resource is Kitereaders.com, which also sells books as ebooks.
