Responsive Reads [https://www.responsivereads.com] is a a website committed to sharing culturally authentic texts.  ​In a recent edition of “Literacy Daily” from ILA, Sharroky Hollie offers educators important steps as they consider choosing authentic texts for their students. The website offers categories of titles and bibliographies of books for various ages of children.
The "We Both Read" books are effective because they engage both children and parents in reading. 
​
The concept of the series is simple: each book is specially formatted for a more experienced reader and child to take turns reading aloud alternate pages. The experienced reader’s pages feature higher-level text (at about a 5th-grade reading level), while the child’s pages feature text that matches the child’s reading level.
This shared experience reduces the frustrations of beginning and struggling readers—and makes reading fun!  Children get to practice reading at their skill level and they also have the opportunity to relax and listen as the fluent reading of more complex text is modeled for them. The result is increased comprehension, fluency, and support for their decoding skills, along with increased enthusiasm for reading. 
Also, “We Both Read” books are available in Spanish as well!
