How Important Is Reading To You?

My students need Tricky Words & Phrases Teaching Cards, a Building Fluency Card Bank, and Nonfiction Comprehension Quickies Cards.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Day's classroom raised $191

This project is fully funded

My Students

Do you love to read? Some of my students can not read easily, or comprehend what they have read. These cards will help my students become fluent and gain the reading and language skills to comprehend what they have read.

My students are 5th-graders who live in a rural community in southern Utah.

They come from different social backgrounds, and have sometimes moved around a lot. My students love to learn by doing and prefer learning without worksheets. When they do hands-on activities, they seem to remember things better.

My Project

I believe that reading is the most important thing we as teachers can teach our students. Students have to be able to, not only understand what they read, but to read text smoothly. For this project I am requesting Tricky Words & Phrases Teaching Cards, a Building Fluency Card Bank and Nonfiction Comprehension Quickies Cards to teach, reinforce and extend reading and language skills. I will use these practice materials to read different stories to my students and to help them better comprehend what they are reading. They will also use the cards to practice fluency. By developing these reading skills, my students will be able to become lifetime readers.

By helping me buy these card kits, my students will become fluent, and be able to comprehend what they read.

This is a skill that is needed throughout their lives. Reading is the most important skill, that I as a teacher, can teach my students. Reading is everywhere! Learning to read, WILL make a difference in my students' lives.
