Building Strong Readers

My students need beginner chapter books, along with books that teach them social skills.

My Students

The students in my class are excited about reading, like most second graders. They love having the ability to choose their own books based on their interests and learning about diverse topics.

Few of my students have access to reading materials.

The closest library is over two miles away, which is nearly an hour walk. Most of them do not have computers at home, and this also limits their reading resources.

New books for my students would mean that I could send home our older library books. Not only would the individual student benefit from this, but most of them have at least one sibling. These new books would also provide my students with more rigorous material, in turn, helping them to become strong readers!

My Project

These books will give my students the opportunity to choose what they want to read from a variety of topics. Children tend to be more excited and engaged in reading when they have the freedom to pick their own text. By making sure these books range in reading levels, I know my students are making a good choice, no matter which one they choose!

Getting kids interested in reading at a young age is important.

Several of the books on this list are chapter books and are part of a series. These are a great introduction for my second graders into the real world of reading!
