My kindergarten students enjoy spending their school day in a rural 4K-8th grade school that has a population of 420. There are two classrooms per grade level. My kindergartners are fortunate to have access to a beautiful school library, a rich and diverse classroom library and some tablets in the classroom to listen to stories.
Dr. Seuss said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” In their short time in 5K, they have learned that books allow them to to discover things they never knew and to experience amazing adventures. I am teaching my students to learn to read so that they can read to learn in the future. My goal is to have children fall in love with reading!

Having my students read their little reader books to their families every week is the cornerstone of our school’s homework program. I currently have to send home photocopied little readers with my students due to the lack of emergent reading level books in our school’s book room. The books I requested will replace the black and white photocopies.
These books are beautifully illustrated, rich text and filled with sight words that my students can read.
I know that all of my students will be thrilled to take these new little reader books home to read to their family. What better way to have students fall in love with reading than to have them read a story to their family members and take them on an adventure!
Thank you in advance for your consideration. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.”~Dr. Seuss
