Help me give my students high interest, low reading level books that will motivate struggling readers by providing books on topics that their peers are reading, but targeted toward their reading level.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my scholars really enjoy - I read to them daily, and they read independently! Every scholar book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and my students are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind - I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
With this selection of high interest, low reading level books, my struggling readers will be able to choose books that interest them and that are on their reading level.
The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my scholars grow stronger in reading.
My scholars already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
