My Project

Our school has created a reading fluency program for grades Kindergarten through 5th grade. From Kindergarteners who are learning their letters, sounds, and CVC words to our 5th graders who are reading chapter books.... there will be something for everyone. Everyone knows that it is difficult to get kids to turn things in to their teachers but, I am hoping that a chance of winning a book will change that. By turning in and completing the student's weekly fluency page, students in each grade level, every month, will have a chance to win a grade level book.

These books will be used to motivate students to complete their weekly reading fluency.

All of these books have been chosen with our students in mind. With these new books, I hope our students and their families will be inspired to work on their reading fluency each week at school and at home. Of course our big goal is to create better readers, but a little persuasion doesn't hurt.
