Gearing Up For Guided Reading!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
I am a first year teacher in a low-income school district where 50% of our students receive free and reduced lunch. Our school is home to students of many different economic and ethnic backgrounds. My students are a loving, energetic bunch that are constantly overcoming numerous challenges both in and out of school. Each day, they come to school full of life and eager to learn!
My ultimate goal is to prepare and provide my students with everything they need to be successful as they further their education.
My Project
Guided Reading benefits both good and struggling readers. These materials for guided reading will help my students get even more excited about learning to read! The letter and sight word games will keep my students engaged throughout small group instruction and provide a unique learning experience. I also believe that these materials and flexible seating options, including stacking stools, will encourage reluctant readers to try out new skills.
Having personal book boxes will allow my students easy access to their literacy collections and create independent readers. It is important to me that my students feel in charge of their learning, so I would love to be able to provide each student with their own whiteboard clipboard combo and marker for independent work. Finally, the storage cart will allow me to store all of these new materials without making a cluttered classroom environment.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
