My students are readers. From the first day of school when I introduce my classroom library and they check out a book, my students understand my expectations that they read any chance they get. If my students finish a task early, they read. When my students enter my classroom, they read. When I finish a book, I tell them about it. My classroom door is decorated with the book covers of books that I finish during the year.
My students grow drastically as readers throughout the year.
Their reading scores show this, but more importantly, the time they spend reading shows this. When my students recognize the connection between their reading effort (time, challenging books, quantity of books) and their reading improvement, I've done my job. I love it!
My Project
Students with books at home usually become stronger readers than students without books available at home. Help me grow students' at-home libraries by sending them home with a book they personally requested.
Many of these books are found in my classroom library that students have discovered this year and love.
Now they want to have the books at home. A few other books were added to this list that are teacher's choice books that I know students enjoy. I'm so excited to see their own excitement when they are presented with a book to keep!
