TCRWP is always on the look-out for new books we can bring into our classrooms. With new books we can continue to keep our teaching fresh and our students engaged. On this page you will find several new titles we have recently come across and highly recommend. We have organized these books by genre and identified the type of book each is (picture book or chapter book). If you have any fresh, new finds to add to our list, we would be more than happy to hear from you and add your finds to this list. You can send an email to us at contact@readingandwritingproject.com
