Bud, Not Buddy

Bud, Not Buddy - Christopher Paul Curtis

Bud, Not Buddy is on a 5.0 reading level (5th grade, beginning of the year). This story is about a 10-Year Old who sets out on his own in search of his father, after many unsuccessful foster home experiences. In a 4th-5th grade classroom, a teacher may implement a memory matching game so that students can successfully grasp vocabulary from the story.
