My Students

My students love to read! Quite often they ask for more time for "read to self" station. They enjoy the quiet relaxing time curling up with a good book. We have pillows in the room for silent reading time that are always in demand.

We have quite a few different reading levels in our classroom, but my students are quick to help each other when someone is struggling.

They enjoy acting like the teacher when it comes time to partner read.

My Project

My goal for this project is to provide a variety of books for my students to practice their fluency and comprehension skills during the school day and at home. According to Literacy Footprints, the kits contain sequenced, high-quality leveled texts in a variety of genres. Students will encounter traditional tales, realistic fiction, fantasy, and informational text.

My students will excel in their reading fluency and comprehension when they have books at their individual reading level.

They will practice reading the books in our daily reading lesson and then take it home to read to their parents. What a great way to include parents and families!
