My Project

I want to implement Jarred Amato's "Just Read It" strategy next year. My goal is to make sure that every student has access to a notebook that they can use to participate in the daily writing tasks. Offering them some resources to decorate their notebooks helps them develop a feeling of ownership towards their work. Hopefully, this will support my students in becoming strong and confident readers and writers.

A lot of my students are currently reading below grade level.

I want to help them fill in the gaps and develop a renewed love for reading!
