** Book scheduled in Core 2: Readers 2 Intermediate. Since this is our first core, I didn’t know that. Zander will have no problems reading a book twice- but maybe someone else might. In that case, just replace it with a fun book about discoveries of that era- maybe something about a steamboat would be good.
