You can see the whole world in the pages of a book. That is precisely what reading is: a doorway that allows us to discover all of the things the world has to offer. The possibilities that come with opening that door are endless, from joining the adventures of princesses and villains to learning facts about the three-horned chameleon. However, for a student struggling with a reading disability, it is as if that door to the world has been shut tight and locked. I want to give my students the keys to the whole world. I want to throw that door open and allow them to see how much fun reading can be. My students need books at their level that are engaging and fun. The First Little Readers complete library will give my students daily books to read at their level. We will use them to build their fluency and confidence. They need the variety that will keep them wanting to keep trying. They are also in need of engaging activities that will strengthen those important phonics and phonemic awareness abilities. The word sliders, game show, and phonemic awareness skills center will be used to strengthen and reinforce their reading skills. We will use them alongside our new library every day to help on the journey to becoming readers. I hope to create a literacy time that they will all look forward to and that will keep them excited about being readers.
