Help me give my students some books to borrow and read at home. Students need high interest books such as Hair Love and I Believe I Can to accelerate their learning!
The mission at our school is to inspire and prepare ALL students to create their own success in and beyond school. I love my students because they are open-minded. We are an International Baccalaureate School and the model encourages and guides students to approach unfamiliar situations and uncertainty with courage and have the independence of spirit to explore new roles, ideas, and strategies. Students must take risks so they may try new reading strategies so they may grow as readers, writers, mathematicians, and scientists. Our classroom needs high interest take-home books to practice reading.
My Project
My beautiful and capable students need additional opportunites to engage with quality texts. The impact of the pandemic is significant. The pandemic widened preexisting achievement gaps, hitting disadvantaged students the hardest. Many students are now one to two years behind in their literacy skills. I want to spark my students' interest in books by providing them will high-interest books for the classroom and to take home and read with their families. When scholars engage with quality texts, they will begin to love reading. This will help to close the achievement gap and unfinished learning due to the pandemic.
