My Project

First graders are beginning to hear themselves actually reading at this time of the school year! Their reading confidence is increasing and it is becoming very exciting to see them launch into this wonderful skill that will benefit them for their entire lifetime!

Small books that they can take home and bring back on a regular rotation very successfully encourages at home reading practice!

Since we have used these small leveled readers for many years with great success, I am happy to say our classroom collection of upper leveled readers is depleted! We used them!

They use these readers together with a homework reading log and once they have learned to read 10 books, they bring back the reading log for a small prize.
