I am beginning a new position working with incoming Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students from various classes at my school. I will be working with these students in a Literacy Lab to develop and refine essential reading skills. The Literacy Lab will immerse students in a variety of literacy activities everyday, including reading, writing, phonics, phonemic awareness, and comprehension.
When students are able to identify new letters and sounds they experience a new sense of pride.
They are so excited when they can read and write a new word. Help me foster this love of reading and writing in these young minds.
My Project
I am beginning a Literacy Lab at my school and am requesting books for this project.
I am hoping to build a library in the literacy lab that will encourage my students to love reading.
In order to do this I need books on a variety of topics and reading levels. I will teach my students to love and care for our library. Throughout their time in the lab students will be given opportunities to read with me, a parent volunteer, or through independent practice. Guided reading groups will also play a large role in helping students build those essential literacy skills.
With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of interesting topics at their own independent reading level. The best way to increase a student's reading ability is to read more, and these books will help my students develop into strong readers.
