My Students

Stories Come Alive!! My students are ready to discover the passion of reading more fluently and comprehending a variety of higher leveled exciting books.

My students in the multi-age program are from 1st grade through 5th grade.

They are fun loving children who are excited about learning to read and advancing their reading skills. My classroom consists of a variety of reading levels. They are ready to capture the love for reading!

My Project

Multi-leveled stories loaded on MP3 players will help my students increase their fluency in reading and comprehension. The students will be given the opportunity to use the MP3 players during Daily 5 rotations to enhance their reading. When listening to another fluent reader, they will soon see themselves as fluent readers.

My students would love to use MP3 players to increase their passion for reading!

With the addition of MP3 players in the classroom, all of my students will have the same advantage in building their confidence and feel very proud about their reading!
