Year after year I come across the same struggle, trying to expose my students to literature and make them fall in love with reading. I have realized it's the tiniest things that make the biggest difference.
I teach at a school with a lot of students who live in poverty.
And year after year more and more students are falling into that category due to the fall in the economy. Therefore I try my best to give them everything they need and more to build a love for learning and strive to do their best.
My Project
I try every year to expose my students to reading different kinds of material to make them understand that reading doesn't only mean books. Reading happens every day in newspapers, magazines, computers, in stores and everywhere else in the community. I am asking for an annual subscription of Time and Scholastic magazines which are grade appropriate, fun and educational for my class. Each of these magazines are entertaining and very informative therefore the children will be motivated to read and become fluent readers. Each kid will have a copy of the magazine to keep and take home to do assignments with and explore. Not only will they be learning new things but they will also be enjoying the material they are reading. I strongly believe that exposing kids to different kinds of reading material is the key to motivating them to read more.
So please help support my class and motivate them to become readers and build the passion to thrive.
It is people like you who help teachers like me make a bigger impact on our future generation.
