Mentoring Program Grades PreK–8 Title List A READ–ALOUD
The titles for R.E.A.L. include a diversity of topics, characters, settings, experiences, authors, illustrators, and genres. They have been chosen because they are excellent read-alouds that provide an enjoyable listening experience for children and spark valuable discussions between mentors and mentees. The program is available in two sets: Set A allows the program to run four times in one year, and a combined set A+B allows the program to run eight times in one year.
