Little Books for Little Readers

My students need leveled books to help strengthen their reading skills. These books include stem (which is very important to our school's focus), nonfiction and easy readers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Venegas's classroom raised $417

This project is fully funded

My Students

Kindergarten is such a very fun time for five and six year olds, and we have the best group of kids! Our kids come to school excited to learn. We are a co-taught classroom, meaning we have two teachers and two groups of kids all together.

We are an 80% free/reduced lunch school, and as teachers we put a lot of our own resources into our classroom, but we need help.

Our kids have a lot of needs and we want them to be successful citizens when they are older. We want to give them every opportunity to learn.

My Project

Our project will help expose kids to books at their own level. The kids will be confident readers because they are able to read books that are 'just right' for them.

Having the kindergarteners able to hold a book in their hands and be opened up to something new is something every child should be able to experience.

We will be using these texts to practice our sight words, using different skills to read, and also writing about what they have read. At this stage in reading kids also need their own books so they can touch each word as they read.

We are so excited for our little learners to be able to read from these texts.
