Book Choice Equals Book Love
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
Sixth grade students are such a wonderful group of kids! They are beginning to truly make their way into the world and finding their place and value. As the year starts, many enter middle school filled with anxiety and nerves. However, it is awe inspiring to see how much change each student goes through, and how they turn into independent learners and discoverers.
As a reading and writing teacher, I really get to see the amazing growth made over each year, not only in each student's work, but in their confidence and passion for learning. Many students come to my class "hating reading", but end the year asking to take books home over the summer. Fostering the love for reading is my number one goal!
My Project
Having a classroom library full of different genres and tons of books is something that I am extremely proud of. By providing book choice to students, I am creating a life long love for reading. Book choice fosters passion, as well as, comprehension.
If a student likes the book that they are reading, they are more apt to understand what it is about and want to read more on their own time. Student choice when learning, motivates students to do their best. Help me stoke the fires of book love!
