Rooted Readers Produce Strong Students!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
My school is in a small rural town and consists of about 270 students. I teach a first grade class of 18 students who love to read and be read to! My school does a great job supplying these readers with quality literature because many of the students do not have these materials at home.
My students love coming to school because of the school's environment and family-like culture. They are eager to learn and look forward to coming to school each day!
My Project
These books will not only impact my class this year but future readers as well. I also plan to share these texts among the other two first grade classrooms as we all share the purchased reading program. These fantastic books were carefully chosen to specifically enhance many reading concepts as well as due to their enjoyment by first grade students.
These mentor texts will be beneficial in creating more well rounded readers. The texts will deepen my students' reading skills, including comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, and grammar. Providing quality reading instruction will support all of the core subjects allowing my students to excel!
