RBE Library Texas 2×2 Books

The Texas 2 x 2 List is a list of books selected by the 2 x 2 committee for children age 2 through grade 2. The list is produced annually and you can click here for the TLA website that has all the previous lists.

 

Students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade can participate in our campus wide Texas 2×2 Reading program. There are 20 2×2 books, and students are invited to read all 20 books, color in their Boot, and then return it to the library. All students who read all 20 books (or have them read to them) will be able to vote for their favorite Texas 2×2 book in the spring! Click here to print out the Boot to keep track of the books you read!
