My Project

Throughout the school year, students are able to read various books on their own and complete short comprehension quizzes to earn points to meet their individual goals. Each quarter, students will have a new goal to meet. Students are able to work at their own pace to try to meet their goal. If students make their goal, they are rewarded at the end of the term. My goal is to have a wide variety of books to be able to accomodate all learners. Having decodable text gives the kiddos a sense of confidence and helps improve their learning skills. These books will be an amazing addition to my classroom library!
