My Project

My upper elementary Language Arts students are developing and mastering their reading skills as they prepare to move on to the next level of their education. They will practice word attack skills, bolster up their vocabulary, and enhance their comprehension skills.

This collection of interesting and developmentally appropriate books such as pinkalicious will be an integral part of our small group reading meetings.

The books that have been selected The Stinky Giant are topics that these students find interesting and want to learn more about. These texts and reading experiences in the small group setting will support students in their whole class meetings. Please help these students get reading materials into their hands that will continue to motivate their academic growth.
