My Project

In reading this year, my high school students will be reading novels that go along with our reading curriculum. This project is supplementing those novels and activities to improve interest, which will help improve student reading outcomes, as they are more engaged and eager to read.

This project has costumes and decorations that will go along with two of our novels in order to entice interest and questions.

The project also includes buzzer extensions that go along with our classroom buzzers so that every student can buzz in to respond! Also included are three mystery games and a mystery book to improve student critical thinking and problem solving. There are also some language cards to use as a game and giant playing cards to use in the creation of reading games. This project truly has something to entice even my most reluctant readers!
