Books Needed to Encourage a Love of Reading
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Project
We just finished up a novel study as a class and I was delighted by how much the students enjoyed the experience. By working together, the students were engaged in rich conversations and were able to truly analyze and enjoy the novel. They were on the edge of their seats as we finished the book.
Our new books will give students greater choice in what to read and aid them in developing a lifelong love of reading. I want to provide continued opportunities to partner read here at school.
This year, I have moved from 3rd to 6th grade, so I would love to add high-interest age-appropriate novels to our class library. Having a variety of age-appropriate books will help our 6th graders to further develop their literacy skills. We also do not have enough copies of our current books to facilitate partner reading. By having two of each book, students will be able to create their own novel study with a partner.
Student choice is critical for engagement, so a variety of books is needed. Thank you so much for your support.
