My Project
I am asking for a couple books series that are perfect for emergent readers in kindergarten. I am also requesting a basic kindle for students that are already fluent readers and that are ready for higher level books.
I tend to use children’s literature to introduce writing, comprehension, and even address social-emotional issues my students might be facing.
My students are already use to writing and discussing "Fly Guy" books so I am very excited to introduce them to some new characters. Last year I had a kinder that could read at a 4th grade reading level so I would like a Kindle on hand loading with plenty of books for them ahead of time!
