My students need engaging books that they want to read over and over again.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nichols's classroom raised $186
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am lucky to be surrounded by 29 energetic, lovable and loving seven year old students every day. As they shake my hand while entering the room each morning, they are filled with questions about what we will be doing during the day and news about what they have been doing since I've seen them last (at 3 o'clock the previous afternoon). The students all live in the urban neighborhood where the school is located. They come from diverse backgrounds speaking English, Spanish, and Creole. About 75% of my class speaks two languages. All my students are eligible for free lunch.
My Project
Many students in my class are struggling readers. This means they are reading at least one grade level below their grade placement. In order to address their needs, I need more books that students are motivated to read but which are also at the students' independent reading level. Dr. Seuss books meet this criteria perfectly as students love to read them again and again.
Dr. Seuss books promote reading achievement because they are fun to read over and over again.
The wordplay used by Dr. Seuss helps students with phonemic awareness and phonics skills. My students will benefit from reading these books and help me to work towards closing the achievement gap in reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
