My Project

These books, chairs, and carpeting will enhance my classroom with an inviting environment and books that students can successfully read! Decodable books are important for beginning and struggling readers. These non-fiction decodable books are engaging to all students, especially boys, with their vibrant pictures and science content.

With these books, I will be able to give my students more choice and offer engaging content that even reluctant readers would love to read.

Decodable books allow students to successfully read them independently or with a partner so that they build confidence in their reading ability. All of the above mentioned will contribute to their love of reading.

As a Reading Interventionist, my students need a little extra push to help them become confident readers. They need a safe, comfortable place to practice their reading skills and these resources would help create that environment so that they can enjoy learning to read and reading to learn.
