READ-ALIKE BOOK TALK: ONE OF US IS LYING BY KAREN MCMANUS
As teachers of reading, we know the importance and the power of book talks to increase the volume of our students’ reading. One type of book talk you may want to try is the Read-Alike Book Talk, where you take a book that has been flying off the shelf of your classroom library and share titles that have similar themes or characters or are of a similar genre.
Here are some read-alikes for One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus:
