[MOSAIC] read alouds

[Deidra & Jim Chandler]

Touching Spirit Bear is a great book. It has a lot of themes in it besides 
the coming of age general theme. It touches on child abuse, alcoholism, 
bullying, survival. Definitely read it yourself before reading it to your 
students. Some students may be sensitive to the graphic descriptions of 
bullying and abuse in the book. It lends itself very well to a literature 
circle. I've read it three times and each time I find something else that 
moves me about the book. I hope you enjoy the book.
