Help me give my students a better chance at learning to enjoy reading and becoming a lifelong reader. I teach K - 3 grade to 12 students and the first grade set is an excellent way to help.
My students are all Athabaskan Natives, living in the small village of Tetlin which is about a hundred miles from the Canadian border. This is a low-income area and finding funding to start new and interesting activities can be difficult.
There is a whole new world out there that these students have not been provided with a vision of what they can see and experience.
They live in one of the most beautiful areas of the world, backed up to the Rangel-St. Elias National Park. Assisting these young men and women to better the quality of their education will be pivotal in directing the path that their lives take.
My Project
Kindergarteners through third graders need quick and easy access to a variety of books that build their interests in the world around them. Your help in making those books be in their hands is my goal. We have a large library but most are older outdated books, and we are going to make our library bigger and better than ever before. Reading Jennifer Serravallo sets are what I use to complete interesting direct instruction for my students.
These reading sets of quality and high interest books can have a hand in making a whole new generation of avid readers.
Help me help them place the tools in their hands that make reading rewarding and pleasurable. Thanks in advance for your support and efforts to help.
