Growing the Love of Reading with Our Favorite Characters
Help me give my students some truly famous reading buddies! I am looking for donations to purchase beloved children's literature stuffed animals that will be ready listeners when my second graders show them how to read!
My students come from all over the world! We have 40 different languages at our school and I love that I am the one who gets to show these children how to read! I am hoping for a donation of classic children's literature stuffed animals to create a link between fun and reading. We will use these stuffed animals (the most beloved characters in our library!) to listen as students read to them. It is difficult to overcome the nervousness of reading in front of others, especially when you are learning a new language. How can we meet that challenge?
Providing familiar characters as reading buddies will help my students work on that challenge while practicing their skills.
Reading should be enjoyable, magical, and even a little challenging. My class works hard on skills that will make them all better readers, but I never want to take away the joy that reading should bring. Please help me give my students these famous characters so they can grow in reading!
More than half of students from low‑income households
