Award-winning book-Caldecott Honor Book
A young girl, her mother and grandmother save any extra money in a huge jar. A year ago their house and all their possessions burn in a house fire. Generous neighbors share various household objects but they are still in need of a comfy chair in which her mother can relax.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: check for understanding (the girl flashes back to a year ago and explains what had happened; then returns to the present), Daily CAFE website recommends using it to model "skip the word, then come back".
Guided Reading Level: M (third grade)
Grade Level Equivalent: 3.8
