My Students

My students are eager to learn. They are great listeners who strive to follow the rules and stay engaged. Feedback is given regularly and they take it and really try to improve. They get excited when new things are learned and we regularly talk about our goals. I love our learning community!

My Project

COVID has unfortunately caused many students to fall behind. One of the biggest areas impacted is reading. Many of my students need additional reading support in order to make it to grade level by the end of the year.

The books will be so helpful!

They will be used during dyad reading, which is partner reading. The students use leveled books so that they are progressing their reading at a pace that is right for them. I have found dyad reading to be very beneficial in helping improve my student's reading skills in the past. I am in need of more books so that I can give them books on their level.
