Captain Nobody

Our current read aloud is Captain Nobody by Dean Pitchford.  The summary reads, "When Newt Newman's football-star brother, Chris is knocked into a coma during the biggest game of the season, Newt's two best friends keep Newt's mind off the accident by helping him create the ultimate Halloween costume: Captain Nobody."
The time we spend reading daily allows me to ask hgher level questions that require deeper thinking and it broadens the students' vocabulary.  We use our context clues to figure out the meaning and record the rich words in our Wonder Word book and put the words and their definitions on our Wonder Words Wall. 

Check out the following sites featuring Captain Nobody.
