Each of these projects and the resources contained within have been approved by the Katy ISD curriculum specialists.

Overview of the projects:

Everybody Books

This project is a collection of book lists, most of them picture books, that have been recommended for use in teaching a particular reading strategy, writing skill, or a particular genre or content area skill or topic. If there are also related internet resources for the books, links to those are included, as well.
