My Project

My 2nd graders come to school as brand new readers. They love stories but they are just learning to decode words and consequently some still struggle with comprehension.

They are completely enthralled when I read aloud to them.

These quality picture books will enable me to implement some new reading strategies that I have been studying for the past two years. A read aloud book allows students who are still working on the decoding part of reading to completely immerse themselves in the meaning of the story. Students can answer questions and help create deeper understanding for themselves for after listening to an engaging story and looking at pictures that enhance the author's meaning.
