Hello! I'm Kelly. Welcome to Balanced Book Worms! I have taught fourth grade reading and writing for the past five years. I grew up with my nose stuck in a book and try to share that same passion for reading with all of my students! I started Balanced Book Worms in hopes that I can share my knowledge of reading and books with all of you! I hope to show you novels that I've loved using in my own classroom through guided reading, shared reading, and read alouds! The goal of this blog is to share book titles, comments, and helpful strategies to use that will lead to a more enjoyable reading experience!
