Books for Beginning Readers

Help me give my students decodable books that feel like "real" books for beginning readers

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mykytiuk's classroom raised $285

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Over the years, I have noticed an aspect to reading that often discourages beginning readers. Kids are observant and they notice that their peers are reading "real" books, while they continue to read very small, paper-sized decodable books. Although I try my best to encourage them in their journey and explain that if we keep practicing the decodable books, they'll be on their way to "real" books in no time, many students are often left feeling discouraged.

Though this may seem insignificant and unimportant, I've seen the confidence and excitement that students gain towards reading when they have a hardback book.

These books specifically are wonderful for beginning readers and offer students the opportunity to practice reading decodable text, all the while gaining the confidence and excitement that comes with reading a "real" book.
