High Interest, Low Reading Level Books

Help me give my students real literature at their reading levels. These books are low reading level, high interest levels.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sasso's classroom raised $746

My Project

I am a reading teacher, working with grades 3-5. I work with small group, whole classroom and one on one tutoring groups. These books will be used in small group guided reading, as well as be available for students to take advantage of my independent reading challenges. To encourage independent reading, a student selects an interesting book, reads it on their own, and then takes an Accelerated Reader quiz to prove comprehension. It is so important for remedial readers to know they can read REAL books, not just decodable books and when they are successful at independent reading, the sky is the limit!

Currently, I have only 2 books that the students must share.

With additional books, I can service more students.

I am so grateful for this opportunity.
