My Project

I am requesting 25 copies of Mercy Watson to the Rescue. This is a great beginner chapter book for these emerging 1st grade readers. By doing a chapter book study with this book, students will build confidence in their reading abilities.

My goal is that every student will have their own copy for this study so they can really take a deep dive into the book and explore morphology and themes throughout.

My students love reading but I find they are disconnecting when they do not have a copy of the book in front of them. With this project, it is my goal that students are fully engaged in the story.
