Many children in today's words struggle with finding a love for reading. Maybe it's too difficult or maybe reading isn't valued in the home making it hard for the child to become motivated to read. In my classroom, I want to create a generation of children who love to read, who believe that reading will take you anywhere. I do not want to be a "memorize this" teacher, I want to be an "experience this" teacher. Reading should be valued and through Breakout Edu, I believe that I can bring a deeper understanding for reading therefore creating a love that will never diminish. Upon researching Breakout Edu, I found that many of the skills I teach to my students are included as sessions within the kit and digital component: most specifically, figurative language. This is a tough skill to teach and for some students to grasp. Through the experiences provided by Breakout Edu, I believe my students will gain the understanding of the types of figurative language as well as being able to interpret these in their readings and will then create students who not only read the words, but are able to visualize and enjoy the story unfolding before them.
