Welcome to the Orca Teachers' Section! Here you'll find our helpful list of ways to use hi/lo fiction in the classroom, interactive discussion forums for both students and teachers, free teachers' guides and more.

Have you done something really creative or successful with Orca Soundings in your classroom? Does winning books sound good to you? Enter our idea contest!

The winner for March is Kelly Campbell from Stillwater Area High School. Kelly writes:

"For the end of the year project my students will be creating a book trailer of the book they read. Many of my students are reading books from the Orca Soundings collection. Something Girl by Beth Goobie is a favorite among the girls and Overdrive has been read by many of the boys in my class. This is a great collection for students who normally dislike reading, THANKS! The book trailers they will be creating will be one and a half to two and a half minutes long and will focus on the characters and theme of the book."
