My Project

I want my struggling. beginning readers to have stuffed animal reading buddies to whom they can read. The students will be able to "buy" these stuffed animals in our monthly school store.

My students will be able to practice their reading skills while reading to a stuffed animal buddy.

They will improve their reading skills and build reading fluency while reading out loud to a cute, little, stuffed animal. It is both work and fun all rolled into one - building skills in a fun way....the best way to learn!
