My Students

I teach Intensive Reading and Language Arts at a Title I middle school in South Florida. At our school, over 85% of the students are on free and reduced lunch plans. Working with this at-risk population allows me to prepare these curious, hard working students for continued secondary school success.

These students often enter my classroom behind their peers in reading skills, and the work we complete in my classroom paves the way for their future success.

Reading is a skill they will need in all of their careers and in their post-secondary education.

My Project

My students need high-quality age-appropriate dictionaries to help them with word recognition and comprehension. Many of them need to gain experience with alphabetization, parts of speech, spelling, pronunciation, and all of the other fabulous skills that working with a dictionary provides. The dictionaries would be used in individual, whole-group, and tutorial activities.

Your generous donation to our classroom will improve our students' chances at true literacy and help them to become stronger readers and writers.

They will feel more certainty and success when they can consult an informative and trustworthy reference source available to them right in their own classroom!
