"A book is a gift you can open again and again." -Garrison Keillor. I have 21 young students in kindergarten that have a love for learning. I would like for my students to establish a love for reading, and you can help them develop into confident and fluent readers by donating to my project.
When you walk into my classroom you are embraced by 21 young scholars filled with excitement and a passion for learning.
My students love having stories read to them, and they love being able to read stories that have inspired them to become stronger readers and writers. I teach my students that knowledge is power, and how becoming stronger readers will help them be successful in life. Many of my students aspire to become authors such as Mo Willems, Mike Thaler, Maurice Sendak, and Kevin Henkes because of literature they have been exposed to. In order to further their knowledge, the students need to be exposed to as many authors as possible and develop the confidence to be stronger readers by reading level appropriate texts.
My Project
We start every morning with our reading workshop. The students are exposed to a variety of texts and authors. They are learning different skills to help them become stronger readers and writers. A huge part of reading workshop is time for students to read-to-self. They are currently reading independently for 12 minutes! Each student has their own read-to-self book bag with books they have chosen to read during this time. For a great reading workshop, students should have between 8 and 12 books that are on level in their book bags. My class needs more books that are on level for them to put in their book bags during this time. I am requesting 5 sets of leveled readers for my students.
By providing books that are on level, my students will be able to build their stamina, fluency, and self confidence as they read-to-self.
