My school is low-income and all the students receive free lunch. My students are ages 6 and 7 and many come from low-income areas. My class is very diverse with students from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
They love to read and we dedicate a lot of our time in class on literacy.
It is important to have books in our library that are on their level and that keep them engaged. They are very energetic and loving and need books they can relate to.
My Project
We need books that are on their levels which will help them to feel more confident about themselves and will teach them to be lifelong learners. I am going into my second year of teaching, and as a result, I am still trying to build up my classroom library to provide the best resources possible for my students. Many kids won't get the opportunity to have quality books to practice reading outside of school. The resources they receive in school need to be the best. Some of our titles include Biscuit, Henry and Mudge, National Geographic Little Kids Readers and many more.
These books will help my students to become successful readers and learn to love reading.
National Geographic books for kids are a great resource especially because so many of our units focus on nonfiction text and these books are colorful and educational.
