My Students

My students come from all backgrounds, and are in a high-poverty, rural school district. They have all different experiences and background knowledge. My students vary in their reading ability and it is my job as their teacher to help them become better readers. In my classroom we use reading workshop to grow readers.

Reading Workshop helps grow readers by giving them choice in their reading and helping them choose just right books.

It also allows for individualized instruction by letting me work with each student to help them improve their reading skills.

My Project

My students study many different series books and discuss the similarities and differences. This helps them understand how an author chooses to write a story and how they develop characters in their books. This is important for reading and writing development.

These Arthur books will help my students grow as readers and writers by understanding author's craft and character development.

These books will help my students build a an understanding of characters in a series and how an author writes their books. These books will also help guide great reading and writing discussions in the classroom among the students and help them grow as readers and writers.
