I am teaching third grade at Swift Elementary in Chicago in the Edgewater neighborhood. Edgewater is an extremely diverse area and the students in my class are from various backgrounds making our class a melting pot of ethnicities. I have 14 English Language Learners and over ten different languages spoken in my classroom alone. I teach every subject and believe reading is fundamental for all learning. It allows students the ability not only to gain knowledge on many subjects, but to use their imagination to learn about others who may have had similar or different life experiences. Reading books aloud to students is a wonderful way to tie in many lessons.
This is my second year as a teacher, and while I have many classroom books in my library that I have purchased over the past year, I need more to keep my students engaged. I have several students who are reading and comprehending at very high levels. I also have many English Language Learners who need books that are below the third grade level.
Please help me foster the love of reading that already exists in these children.
