My Students

My students are 9th grade English students. They all have an IEP (Individualized Education Program) meaning they have some sort of disability. Sadly many of my students don’t enjoy reading all of the time. The goal is to get them to love reading.

My students are very outgoing, creative, and fun!

My Project

I am asking for books for my students. During COVID, students are not allowed to share books. Therefore I would like to create an inventory where my students can all hold on to a book for a few weeks to read. The books will then be quarantined for a short time and then redistributed to students.

Many 9th graders don’t like reading so I would like to create a fun space for them where they feel comfortable reading.

A Book Talk Cafe is a corner of the room where they can sit, read, and discuss their readings with their peers in a comfortable setting. Students thrive when they feel comfortable! Please help me help my students feel comfortable when reading and lead them to enjoy it!

Ms. K
Grades 9-12
