Do you remember what it was like the first time you read a book that you couldn't put down? I want my students to have that feeling, everyday!! These books will help to inspire my little learners to improve their reading skills. The stamps will help them to practice commonly read words.
I work in a city school.
My students come from a range of places and academic levels. Some students have no books at home, while others have libraries of books. Some are readers, some are still learning letters and letter sounds. I hope to have all of my students surrounded by books at school, everyday.
My Project
The books that I am requesting will give my many readers more options of books at just the right level. The stamp sets and ink pads will help my students to practice spelling important words, that will support their path to reading. All of the materials are fun and inviting!
Good reading habits are the foundation of great learning. I want to inspire my students to greatness! Good books at many levels will help my students to achieve their own levels of greatness!
My students are learning to read!
We are all so excited as my little learners are reading new words, and capable of reading higher level books, but we need more! These books are part of the key to my class' learning to read adventure!
