Guide Their Reading

Help me give my students personalized reading books that are on their reading level. A lot of my students are a little lower this year, which means that I don't have as many books available to them.

My Students

The students in my classroom are very loving and supporting. They tend to have a mind of their own. They are full of energy and full of life. I have come just about to the end of my rope with keeping up with them and their needs. I love them to death, and would do all that I can to give them everything that they deserve.

My students are joyful and full of life.

With such active, engaging students, I have to continue to keep my enthusiasm up to maintain their attention focus. It's a challenge every single day that is rewarding, as well as successful in growing together as a class.

My Project

All of the resources listed are guided reading books. They are sets of books on a certain level that I can use to teach skills and guide my students in a personal way.

The students in my class this year are working really hard to get on grade level.

Until they are there, they need as many resources as they can get. I am in short supply of leveled books on this class's reading level, because they are a little lower.

Please help me give my students more grade appropriate reading resources to help them be successful in the classroom.
