Welcome Readers!
My name is Mrs. Brower and I am a Reading Specialist in Middleton, Massachusetts. I work with students to help them become the best readers they can be! I am most passionate about introducing students to books that will get them hooked on reading. It is my goal for all my students to be able to get lost in a book! It is my vision for this blog to be a resource for students, families, and teachers to learn about newly released books that can hook a student on reading!!
