My Project

I am in need of books for my small reading group. I want to teach my students to read but I need books that are at their level. The books I chose are all at a kindergarten reading levels 0.5-0.6.

The students in my group all speak different languages but are working hard to learn English.

They get so excited when they can read sight words so I know that they will be so excited to read these books. I have chosen sets of books that will be engaging and create excitement and are at their level.
