Every year, the Golden Sower nominees are in high demand. With only a limited number of copies through the public library, students are having to wait, therefore I strive to provide multiple copies for students to read each school year. Not only does this project promote literacy skills, like comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency, but more importantly it gets students excited and interested in reading for enjoyment! These books are also utilized for our Golden Sower club (aka book club), which provides a more in-depth opportunity for students to discuss and provide their insights. In turn, the distrtct hosts a Golden Sower competition in the spring where teams compete to show off their knowledge and comprehension skills for each book.
