My Project
I work with reading intervention students in kindergarten through fifth grade that have a strong desire for learning and work hard to meet their goals. I have witnessed their love for reading grow as they have become more confident in their reading abilities. As a reading interventionist, my goal is to provide instructional and independent texts my students can read. Many of my students lack confidence in their reading abilities. With targeted interventions, my students learn the foundations for reading and grow as learners.
Research shows that the best way for students to learn to read is by using a structured literacy approach and explicitly teaching phonics skills.
When my students find texts they can read and enjoy, their enthusiasm is evident and confidence blossoms! Having a variety of decodable texts that correlate to explicit phonics instruction would be of great value to my students. This project will provide more engaging texts for my students to enjoy and will also help foster their love for reading. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
