5th! We've had 24 per class for a few years now. Too many to be as effective as we want to be. I asked my kids how many loved reading more now than in Sept and all but three raised their hand. (We did the math--87.5%) Two didn't because they said they loved reading in Sept and still do--it couldn't have increase lol and the other joined us in January and she says she doesn't like to read, but I told her I didn't get the full time with her. ;-)
I've been giving these for 3-4 years now, but usually in December with two new books each. I had too much going on to do that this year, but they still got the books. This is better timing. Moms of former students say their kids use these years after finishing 5th grade. :-)
