My Students

I currently teach 3rd-grade students in an inclusion classroom. This includes students with ADHD, speech and language disorders, autism, and Spanish Speakers. Most of my students are on free or reduced-price lunch. Even with these struggles, they come to school every day, ready to learn and always put their best foot forward! To help my students with their reading comprehension, I would like to provide more whole group chapter books. When students are able to practice reading in chapter book studies, they not only comprehend more but they are more involved with discussions that bring more rigor into the classroom.

My Project

I am asking for these multiple copies of chapter books so my students can enjoy whole group chapter book studies. In doing a chapter book study as a whole class, it allows us to really dive into a book, have discussions, and add rigor to our classroom. They will see how fun reading together can be and it will also allow some of my not so confident readers to join in and get excited about a book! These particular chapter books I chose, teach a lesson and are also very interesting to keep them wanting to read more! By allowing my students this option, it changes their commitment to reading and learning. They will have a higher engagement and a greater desire to read!
