My Students

In today's educational world, a lot of pressure is put on teachers to get their students reading. We are expected to increase students' scores and reading ability but not always given the resources.

My classroom is filled with 21 second grade students.

All of them are extremely different but equally eager. The school they attend is in a very rural district in Kentucky. Each student is incredibly different in learning abilities, and it is my job to ensure that each of those students has progressed in their reading abilities!

My Project

My class is requesting three reading comprehension practice kits. One is for my second grade level kids and one is for my kids who are ready for a little push. My classroom library is starting to seem boring to my students because they read so much of it every day. These three comprehension kits will give me an opportunity to show the students new, meaningful reading passages while giving them resources to teach and solidify their reading comprehension skills.

It is required that teachers grow each students' progress 'X' number of points a year, however we are not given the resources and means to do so.

This project will not only give my students fresh and meaningful reading comprehension practice, but it will supply me with a great resource to cover all levels in my classroom.
