She has quite a year and many ideas about what should happen. This is a book about a girl named Ramona who is going to school and will be in kindergarten. You can tell she is in kindergarten because she does all the things a normal girl her age would do. My cousin had me read this book to her and I thought it was funny because that is typical of ever five year old and I could remember when I was in kindergarten and I used to get in trouble all the time and I would always tell the teacher on a little boy who would pick on me. I would use this book as a book that I would read at the start of the school and to show the students that it is not okay to pick on others. This is a cute story about a little girl going into the kindergarten. I chose to read this book because my focus student for Holt is on a very low reading level and I was trying to find books that would be an easy read for him. I think this book would be a good level and would be a fun read for him because it is entertaining for students to read about disruptive students. Ramona is off to kindergarten, and it's the greatest day of her life. But why's she sitting on the bench while the rest of the students play the game gray duck? Her laughs and minor upsets abound in an enormously popular story. Beverly Cleary has a real gift. Although her books span a period of decades, they all read as though they were written today. There's a few odd details in some of them, but mostly they rely on good storytelling and... well, very real-seeming children. This is the story of Ramona's kindergarten year. It can be hard to find chapter books that are worth reading to kindergarteners, but this is it - Ramona actually seems like an actual child who is actually, really, truly in kindergarten! When she's told to "sit here for the present" she does, waiting for her present. When she struggles to refrain from pulling perfect Susan's curly "boingy" hair, you can feel how hard it is. And it's easy for all small children to understand why Susan's trying to act like a grown-up is annoying for Ramona. I would really suggest this as a first read-aloud chapter book for a young kid. no reviews | add a review
