The final page of Apply & Extend includes an annotated bibliography of Independent Reading recommendations.

These high-interest trade books have been selected based on their relationship to the Unit theme and their appropriateness for the Milestones student.

Many come from state and district recommended reading lists. A short annotation is included.

You may wish to share this list with your school or community librarian so that your students will have ready access.

Note that a cross-reference to the Heinle Reading Library appears on this page.

A specially-adapted version of a literary classic or a biography has been selected to match the Unit theme.

This allows you to have the entire class read the same book-a valuable activity to strengthen reading skills.

More information about the Heinle Reading Library is found in the Student Resources section of the Milestones Online Professional Development.
