Reading Opens All Doors to Success

My students need reading books that are leveled to matching their learning needs to help them become readers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. TerMolen's classroom raised $1,044

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach a multi aged classroom of preschool and kindergarten. My students come from a low social economic background and their parents want them at our school so they can get the very best education. The parents only have a few good school choices for their children.

I want my students, who are in school for the first time, have the best experience that I can give them.

They deserve to have all the opportunities that are available. My students deserve this project so that they can have a chance at a great start to their education.

My Project

My students love to read and be read to! By having these books readily available in the classroom it will give the children the opportunity to read even more books that are leveled to their abilities.

Each child in the classroom will have activities and books at their own indiviual learning level.

To go along with leveled reading books they will also have independent centers to reinforce skills being learned in the classroom during reading groups. These skill are going to reach the lowest children all the way through to the highest students. Each child in the classroom will have activities and books at their own learning level.
