My Students

I feel one of my most important jobs as a reading teacher is to encourage students to be lifelong readers. Often the students in my reading classes come to me as discouraged readers. They are behind, and many have decided to hate reading. I want to help my students find ways to practice reading in new exciting ways.

Every year when my reading students leave my classroom, I want them see how much they have improved.

I want their reading level to improve, but, more importantly, I want their confidence and excitement about reading to improve.

My Project

I teach the struggling readers. These readers struggle in a variety of ways from vocabulary to comprehension to motivation. I need some items to support what we are already doing in the classroom. The reading class focuses on students getting students to read at grade level while focusing on the common core standards for informational and literature reading.

One of the most important supports I offer students is providing a wide variety of reading material to match various levels and interests.

If I can get a student to read on their own, their reading level improves dramatically. I read a lot and I work hard to get the right book in the right student's hands.

Another item in my cart offers support for my reading students' fluency. Often students struggle with speed and fluency. Research has shown that offering audio support increases comprehension and motivation.

These materials will help my students find success in an area that they struggle. The materials will remain in the classroom and will help students for many years.
