Sunshine State Students

Help me give my students books that are from varied genres and multicultural representation to help motivate them to read!

My Students

This amazing class of third graders never ceases to amaze me. I have half of my class here at school face to face and half online learning from home. My class consists of students who are ELL (English Speakers of other Languages), SLD (Specific Learning Disorder), and who receive free or reduced lunch.

My Project

I teach third grade students who come from different backgrounds with varying levels of fluency. Some of my students are more comfortable reading picture books while others are venturing into chapter books. The Sunshine State books feature different authors and are all books that have received favorable reviews.

The book covers are bright and colorful and the titles will grab students attention.

This new set of books will be entertaining and will help my students increase their love of reading while also improving their fluency. They will receive small awards and recognition for reading these books from our school as well!
