On Our Way To A Love of Reading

Help me give my students an opportunity to develop a passion for reading a series through the use of chapter books like Zoey and Sassafras.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

These scholars are a collective, colorful group of learners! There are some students that meet you each day with a smile and a hug. Then there are some that need the smile and hug from me and anyone in the building. And despite their challenges they come with a desire to learn and aspire to greatness.

When they learn something new and make a connection with real world experiences, you should see the light bulbs going off.

Our classroom theme is Howard University Bisons, which exposes them to options greater than what they could imagine.

At our school, "All roads lead to college!"

My Project

I can remember when I was a child and how I could escape my home life by enjoying a good book. I want to assist my scholars with developing a passion for reading as well.

The way that this can be accomplished is by getting them interested in reading a book series where they can relate to the characters for example like Zoey and Sassafras.

The scholars can relate to friendships and building trust and understanding. The scholars can also relate to the characters in the Bad Guys to explore how just because you appear one way doesn't mean that is who you are.

I feel that these books will help my scholars develop their imagination and also help them to develop a passion for reading.
