Any books by these authors are also on the Hokie Challenge Book List. They are primarily for the K - 1 grade levels. Students/parents should still keep the student’s personal reading level in mind so they are not reading books too far below or above that level. An adult may also read the books with the student. Books on the lists can be found at the Public Library or the SES Library.
