My students need a listening center (ready-to-go for 8!) and a set of Read Along books to help foster a love of reading and fluency.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ferris's classroom raised $690
This project is fully funded
My Students
I work in a second-year school where more than three quarters of our school comes from low-income households. Our school is still growing and changing, and classrooms lack Smartboards and technology. We are an ICT classroom where 40% of our students receive IEPs with special accommodations.
Many of our students are striving readers who are below grade level and working hard to foster a love of learning.
We are working hard to foster this love by giving students multiple opportunities to learn and get excited to read.
My Project
Students will be using a listening center with CDs and matching books that are classic and familiar. During Reading, teachers will be able to meet students and work in a group. While they are working, students can work independently or in groups to read familiar, beloved books and practice reading on their own. This can also be a good choice for free choice time.
Our listening center will allow students to have a hand in their own reading growth.
By listening to a familiar story and following along, students will be able to be able to practice reading skills in a low-stress and fun environment.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
