My Project

My scholars aspire to be great readers. They are special because they are risk-takers. Even though they struggle with reading, they still try to read and enjoy listening to stories. The majority of them come from low-income families. Some do not have anyone to help them practice reading at home so their only assistance is at school.

The workbooks will help me teach my scholars to read fluently and improve their comprehension.

Each scholar will have his or her own workbook. The workbooks will be used in small group settings. They will allow the scholars to practice the standards that address their individual needs. They will also be able to practice reading the stories to improve their oral reading.

The scholars are on a mission to reach their reading goals for the spring by increasing their fluency and comprehension skills. With the use of the workbooks, they will be able to work diligently towards reaching those goals. Thank you for helping me to mold lifelong readers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
