Read On! Titles for November

The start of November means another month of Read On Wisconsin! You'll find November's featured titles below.

Consider adding Read On Wisconsin titles into your story times, as classroom read-alouds or as part of literature circles or book clubs. Discussion questions are available for each month’s books, and TeachningBooks.net has compiled links to resources in their database about the titles.
