My students are hungry for books that will help them learn and grow. We know that the best way to become a better reader is to read! Unfortunately socioeconomic issues can make it difficult for students to have access to high interest books at home. Well planned classroom libraries help students to have books at their fingertips that capture their interest and make them enthusiastic readers. One study revealed that classroom libraries increased reading time by 60% and that literacy related activities more than doubled! (Neuman, 1999) We do many activities related to students' independent reading that help them become better readers, writers and critical thinkers. My students write book reviews, reading response journals, sequels, character diaries, and alternate point of view projects. They study plot, theme, character development, setting, and figurative language. They build skills like summarization, comparing and contrasting, connection-making and improved vocabulary. Your contribution will help place high interest novels into my students' hands and will help them become life long readers and learners. Please donate today!
