Can someone help me decide between reading Holes or Where
the Red Fern Grows? Haven't taught either and I am having
trouble deciding. Thanks.

I personally love Where the Red Fern Grows. I think it is a
classic. Kids wouldn't probably pick it up on their own to
read or watch the movie. They would Holes. However, realize I
teach in a rural community so my kids get the whole hunting
thing. Some kids would not.

I use Holes as a read aloud for my 5th graders. I think that Where the Red Fern Grows is more age appropriate for 6th graders.

I always survey what the kids have seen and/or read first.
Many elementary teachers use "Red Fern" as a read aloud or a
movie to watch. Many have seen the movie "Holes."
I'd check with them first.
Both novels are equally awesome, so good luck!
