Hooray! This project is fully funded

Welcome to the 3rd grade. I teach students in a Title 1 school and my classroom is an ELL classroom, which means I teach students with English as their second language. I teach in a low income area, most of my students are on free or reduced lunches.

All students want to be successful. In order for them to succeed in any subject area...they need to be able to read. My goal is simple, I want to help my students be successful readers, but to do so, I need to correctly match them to the right reading levels. I also need a resource that helps my students feel successful as they are able to increase their difficulty level as they progress in the program.

The solution is not a simple one, but you can help. The Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark System will help me to assess my students reading levels and to test them periodically to monitor achievement. This program will also help me to match my students to books that are at their level. This will help them to become successful readers. By creating successful readers, I will be able to create successful mathematicians, scientists, artists, and writers.

You can make it all possible. Help me to inspire my students to read and open up a world of possibilities to them. It all starts with placing them in the right books and the Fountas and Pinnell program will help me to do this.
