My Project

Students who love to read become great readers. My students in third grade are beginning to find that love of reading. Help us to add new and interesting titles to our classroom library to help motivate them to read.

Graphic novels are a great bridge to chapter books.

Students who start with graphic novels gain the confidence to move on to reading chapter books. Studies show that comprehension grows when a text is paired with pictures. Many of my students are English Language Learners who benefit from the support in reading that graphic novels bring.

We also need new incentives for our treasure box for students who complete their home reading. I am requesting items like scented pencils, slow-rising foam toys, and fun pens.
