Tag! See How Much You Can Read!

My students need 8 books and activity cards for our Tag Readers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gale's classroom raised $554

Kindergartners that would rather read than draw? That is actually the case in my classroom. I teach sixteen fantastic and motivated Kindergarten students in suburban Maryland. Although they come from a wide range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, they share many similarities. Their love of reading is one of them.

My students were so pleased when we received a set of Tag Readers and the accompanying Childrens Classic Storybooks recently. They love these books, and not only use them during literacy centers, but also during indoor recess and free time. It is so encouraging to see my students so engaged in the Tag Readers, which are such a valuable resource since they help students decode the books. However, we only have six book titles--Olivia, Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom, The Little Engine That Could, Ozzie and Mack, Fancy Nancy at the Museum, and Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type.

I would love to be able to provide my students with more books for their Tag Readers so that this valuable resource can continue to benefit them and motivate them in their learning. In addition to a few on level books, I have selected some lower level books to make the material more accessible to struggling students, but also some more advanced books so that students will continue to benefit from this resource as they develop their reading skills and become more fluent readers.

You will make it possible for my students to remain motivated and confident as they develop their reading skills in these crucial early years. Your donation is truly appreciated.
