In this particular story, Tucker is not the only ghost - there is his ghost mentor/great-granddad Doc and two other ghosts that are specific to th...

Fancy Nancy is my favorite series for lower elementary grades. It tells the adventures of a young girl and it is an easy read. The students could read the story and do a lesson on adjectives. Also, the students could have a lesson on character analysis considering Nancy is a very interesting charact...

Fancy Nancy is just fun and she probably is more on the girly-er side but I think using this series could be a great vocabulary builder in the lower grades. She always is using fun "fancy" words that kids have probably never heard which I think is great for lower grades to hear. Fun fact: I made a F...

Emme has a lot more to worry and be sad about than just losing a friend Charlie has told her that he is moving bac...
