My Project

These books will ensure that the implementation of a new routine in Italian class of Lunedi' di Lettura - o martedi' (Reading Monday or Tuesday)! Every student will be able to receive a copy of the book that we will focus on per quarter, and per level. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind, their current level and where I want to take them.

With these new books, my students will be able to read a variety of texts based on their interests, and that will allow them to read independently at their own level.

Based on the STAMP test, the students in Italian class can benefit from more reading and the best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
