Help me give my students great guided reading books. Early literacy leveled books need to be exciting in content but leveled for independent reading. These books are colorful, interesting and non-fiction texts to help students become successful readers.
I am teaching first grade to thirty-one students. They are a very diverse group of students. My class is a high-performing class with only a third reading below grade level. This seems like a lot, however some years it could be the opposite. Therefore, this class is able to work independently. I am looking to set up high-quality centers for this high-energy class. This class has very good attendance and comes regularly on time. They also have a good set of involved parents that check folders and make sure homework is getting done. It's going to be a great year.
My Project
My students all come into first grade on many different reading levels and have many different needs. These non-fiction guided reading books will help my struggling students interact with books that have interest non-fiction topics. Students love to learn about the world around them. These books are the best at capturing a young mind and letting them see the importance of learning how to read. The book on maps will helps students learn about their community. We need to strive as educators to help create better citizens for our world. Children that care about their world, learn to do so at a young age. These books are fundamental in helping build my library to reach the interests of all of my students.
