My Project

Reading can be fun, especially when students are immersed in literature, and are able to have opportunities to practice reading skills in engaging ways.

I chose games and materials that would allow our first grade students to improve their reading while sparking excitement.

The games will be utilized in reading group instruction time, as well as with small student groups. The supplies such as the flashlights will be used for "Flashlight Friday", when students have time to independently read with the light of their flashlights. These opportunities will allow students to improve their reading while increasing their confidence and working towards becoming a stronger independent reader. Thank you for considering donating to our "Reading Rockstars" project!

Ms. Hoppe will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 3.
