Ms. Pulford’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/6177891 Customize URL

Many students enter my seventh-grade classroom as non-readers. Some struggle with reading and others have a difficult time engaging with the text. These struggles may lead students down a path of “fake reading” unless...I am able to show them the magic of reading! Reading is actual magic. With only black ink on white pages, books can make us feel an array of emotions. Using Homer's Odyssey, students will consider the character’s triumph over adversity and begin their path to real reading. Along their journey through this book, I will be able to act as a compass, guiding them in self-discovery where they will no doubt gain insights into their own strengths, ideas, and perseverance. I can’t wait to help awaken their love of reading!
