AR

School has started again and so has AR. Reading levels can be pretty confusing. For example, I'm reading a 4.1 book even though my lowest range is 5.0. The confusing part is is that that book is no where near what little kids would read or should be reading. I just confused is all I'm saying. Please comment on what your opinion is.

Book Review/ A Mango-Shaped Space

This book by Weny Mass was touching and amazing. Mia's family is anything but normal. Her brother keeps track of how many McDonald's hambugers he's eaten and her sister dyes her hair a new color every week. But now Mia lets loose her own gift. All her sounds, letters, and numbers have color. That means people's names have color. She wishes her letter and numbers could just be black and white like everyone else until this color seeing is diagnosed. Mia and her colors go on a great adventure through the story of a Mango-Shaped Space.
