"To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting." Edmund Burke
I apply this quote in my class everyday so the students expect to reach their goals to be very successful.
I have 26 bilingual students at a Title 1 school.
My kids come from a title I school, which means they have free or reduced lunch and breakfast due to their parents being below the poverty line. This is a culturally diverse school. We have Asian, African-American, Anglo and Hispanic students. This school has a very high ELL(english language Learners) student population.
My goal is to give my students the best education ever, to make them love READING and to make them very successful through the school year.
My students struggle so much with reading because they need to learn in both languages. They do not have any assistance at home due to their parents being unable to speak English and sometimes unable to read in their home language.
My Project
The Vocabulary Building Flip Books will help my students to build tons of essential vocabulary skills by forming words with prefixes & suffixes to identifying synonym & antonym pairs! Perfect for use in writing centers,and independent vocabulary practice.
the Reading Comprehension Games will allow my students to develop in a funny way comprehension skills! Students will hunt for hidden treasure as they read for details, race through a skateboard park to practice predicting outcomes, sequencing, making inferences, cause and effect,context clues and more.
By using these tools my students will be enabled to build their comprehension and develop a sense of love for Reading.
Funding this project will allow my students the opportunity to reach their full reading potential in English and Spanish.
My bilingual students have been struggling with their academic Reading skills.
All these Reading and Comprehension items are NON-consumable so they will be reused year after year. These comprehension games and activities will engage not only my current 26 students but hundreds to come. It is important to encourage students to become avid readers and lifelong learners.
My students are part of the future of this country. The earlier and better they truly learn and use English, the greater will be the impact they make upon our world.
