My Project
The students at my school are eager and excited to come to the library. They truly do enjoy being among the books. But, there are always reluctant or struggling readers who need more accessible options of books to help them read. The e-readers are phenomenal for the students who are still learning to read on their own, but want to be able to enjoy books. The Big Books are engaging for our little readers. And all of my students love it when we solve mysteries in the library! Having the group sets of the mystery decodable books means they can get in small groups and solve the mystery together.
It's not uncommon for a child to feel as though there isn't a book for them, and I want to show them that there is a wide variety of books and ways to read.
Having several different types of books will hopefully show them that maybe they just haven't found the right book or style of reading yet. Thank you for helping me provide these options for my students.
