My Students

Most of the students in my special education do not like reading. Some come into high school with a 1st grade reading level, though most are at around a middle school level. It is my job to get them up to speed so college is an option for them.

My Project

I work in a school that effectively has no library. Every quarter, students pick a book to read on their own and do a book report on it. This is in addition to a book we read together as a class. Students do not always have transportation to the public library or means to buy books on their own. Many come from low-income households. Students therefor choose books from my rather sparse classroom library. The addition of these books will give students tremendous access and variety in choosing what they read.
