My students need book sets from the Brand New Readers Series to fill their classroom library with books that are as interesting and meaningful as possible.
Some of my students have not yet discovered books that capture their imaginations. This could be the year that magic happens and they fall in love with books! Unfortunately the books I have access to aren't very engaging and relevant to my first graders.
I have sixteen students in my first-grade classroom.
Our school has 42% English-language learners and 57% of students from low-income families. Our school has over 500 students, and only has kindergarten through second-grade. This allows for a variety of opportunities for collaboration among teachers and grouping students for guided reading groups. The majority of my class is below grade-level for reading, and needs intensive reading intervention in order to get them up to speed.
My Project
A teammate of mine uses the Brand New Readers and her students are in love with every book they read! I can't wait for my students to fall in love with our classroom library, as well.
These book sets, from the Brand New Readers Series, will be used on a daily basis, whether the students read them during reading group, have them in their book boxes for independent reading, or even for their take-home reading bags.
Understanding what we read involves a set of skills and strategies that begin early in life and that continue to become refined and deepen as the years go by.
Meaningful and engaging books make this possible, and the earlier we can support children on the road to understanding, the better.
