My Students

Have you ever read a book that made you laugh out loud, a book you can relate to and made you fall in love with reading? By having my 4th grade class to read this book, it will ensure all of my students and edge up in reading comprehension and strategies.

My students are mostly struggling readers.

They enjoy reading comic books and humorous books however they also have a hard time with reading comprehension and other reading strategies. Most of the boys in the class have a hard time getting into a chapter books. However all of the students enjoying reading anything that will make them laugh out loud.

My Project

By donating to my project and supplying 40 copies of the book "There's a Boy in the Girls Bathroom", my students will be able to work independently and as a whole class on the same chapter book but at their own pace. They will also be able to create presentations, reports, skits and other activities to ensure success for all.

"The Falling Back in Love with Reading Project" will help students have the chapter books they need to increase their reading skills and lead them to academic achievement.

Reading is the foundation to all subjects.
