My Students

I recently graduated from college and have been allowed the opportunity to work with an amazing group of striving readers and ESOL students! I spend 30-45 minutes per day with each small group. I work with about 20 students on a daily basis, some of which are learning English as a second language. I work in a title one school so a lot of the students are from low-income households. Due to our school being located in a small farming town we have a lot of migrant workers, the students from these families fascinate me daily with their ability to adapt to language barriers. However, some of these students still struggle with mastering reading skills. Therefore, I have been researching fun and engaging ways to promote the joy of reading through games. I have found several games that I would like to add to my room to promote reading strategies. The games would be used during small group instruction to promote reading comprehension skills, context clues, and language.

My Project

All of these games and activities will benefit my group of striving readers. All of the students that I work with daily are striving to become fluent readers through practicing language and literacy strategies. These games will help to build several different reading skills that are necessary to become successful readers. As well as build their sight word and vocabulary banks through engaging activities that will make learning so much fun! No matter how old we get everyone loves to play games! Bringing these games into my small group setting will be so fun and exciting for everyone! Thanks in advance for your generosity.
