My Students

I am an AIS teacher located in New York City. I teach eager kindergarten, first, second, and third-grade children who are struggling readers and writers. My students are devoted to learning, but need a different approach toward their education. They need small group instruction that uses many types of manipulatives.

When my children are successful, the look of wonder in their eyes is a sight to behold.

It is truly what makes being a teacher the best job in the world.

My Project

My students are reluctant readers and writers. I want to change their mindset and have them discover the joy that reading a good book can bring to their lives. The only way I can think to do this is to give them ownership over the choice of book they not only read but will use to start their personal library.

Imagine a child that is clutching a book in excitement and can hardly wait to not only read the book, but perhaps read the book to their younger brothers and sisters.

This is my plan: Children can earn the right to go to the computer and choose a book from the Barnes and Noble website. Children will be rewarded by the number of hours and minutes they read. Once they reach the magic number, they will be invited to come to the computer and use a Barnes and Noble gift card to purchase their book. I can hardly wait to invite that first child to explore Barnes and Noble and their awesome books.
