Looking Into The World Through Books

My students need 2 Learn to Read Readers Classroom Sets.

Portland, OR Grades PreK-2

My Kindergarteners are just beginning their voyage of learning to reading. They love to learn about the world through books at their level. Our school is an inner city school with eager schools to learn.

We are greatly in need of leveled books that are interesting for five year olds to read. Students read better when they have a lot of choices to read at their level More choices of books mean more reading for the students. Students confidence grows and their reading improves faster the more they read!

Our class would grow as readers if we had sets of leveled books. These sets have twelve different titles and multiple copies of each title. The students can read these books in a small group or individually. The levels are from kindergarten to second grade so students can go as readers. The sets come in an easy box for five year olds to keep them organized and ready for use during reading.

You will make it easier for my students to start the path of their education as strong readers. We all know that students that are at the top now have a better chance to stay at the top. Please help this goal be realized for them and me.
