Do you remember reading a book and longing to know what happens to your character after the end of the book?
I have a class of 22 fabulous third graders.
Our school is a public school in North Carolina. I have a majority of boys in my classroom, and next year will be same way too! These boys don't always love reading and it has been a struggle to encourage them to read.
My Project
My reading instruction relies heavily on students choosing books and applying reading skills to these books. I would love to have books that are geared toward boys. The majority of the boys I have taught are not naturally born readers, but I think these books will really encourage boys to fall in love with reading! I want them to find a character that they love! More importantly, a character that they can't wait to read more about!
I would like books from the following series: Marvin Redpost, Encyclopedia Brown, Ghostville Elementary, The Class from the Black Lagoon, Chet the Gecko and the Bailey School Kids.
Reading is such an important part of everyday life!
I want to build up readers who LOVE reading! These chapter series books will really help the students in my class, especially the boys, find characters they can identify and grow with.
