October Picks: Non-Fiction

This summer I added a number of non-fiction titles that are MORE than just physical books. They also include interactive online features that can be used with the book's code, which is printed inside the first few pages. Some of the features include: read alouds, videos, suggested web links, activities, vocabulary, quizzes and slideshows. All of these features can be used by multiple students at the same time and they are easy to use, download and print! These activities can also be used with your SmartBoards! If you have any questions about how to use these extra features, don't hesitate to ask!

Here are some series that have extra digital features:
