I am a special education teacher that just moved from fifth grade to kindergarten/1st grade. I do not have many resources for young children. I would love to get some fiction and nonfiction leveled books to help with reading groups. The students would be able to read these during centers, during guided reading, and while I am working with other students for progress monitoring. I intend to modify my books to include sensory aspects. I have looked for sensory books online, but nothing fits the needs of my students. I am so excited to use these books to help my students to love reading,
My Project
I am a Special Education teacher who recently moved from fifth grade to kindergarten. I do not have many resources for young learners. I would especially love to have a leveled library full of fiction and non-fiction books that my struggling readers can use during guided reading, centers, and for reading for fun.
A leveled library will help my struggling readers develop a love of learning and reading.
Students will enjoy selecting their own book that are appropriate for their ability level so that reading is enjoyable. I plan to add a sensory element to many of the books I receive. I have shopped for books that include sensory aspects, but nothing meets the needs of my students, so I will make my own.
