My Students
My students love to read, and cherish independent reading time. Typically, when they have books that they love in their hands, they ask for tons of reading time. They have been sharing books and reading to each other, and have become very good at pulling others into their selections.
We are a Title I school. My students are typical 7th graders who like to read about kids who are like themselves--and sometimes about kids who are in other worlds. Many of my students rely on our classroom library and the school library to keep books in their hands, and the school works hard to keep selections fresh and interesting.
My Project
With these books, students can practice reading with fluency and voice. They can also practice responding to literature--aloud with friends and formally on paper. Most of all, they will become pros at finding books that are engaging--the stuff of being a lifelong reader.
This project makes a difference simply by putting lovely, glossy, crisp new books on my shelves. My students need 3 copies each of books to improve fluency, including Amulet, El Deafo and Game. Your donations will all but eliminate that feeling of "... but there is nothing good to read."
