My Students

My students LOVE to read! I am working with kindergarten, first and third grade students to build strong readers! They have been working so hard this year building reading stamina, accuracy and fluency after a year and a half of not having high quality literature and nonfiction books in their hands.

My Project

There is nothing more exciting to see children totally engaged in reading. This happens when students have high interest books to choose daily. Many of the titles I have requested are student favorites and are in high demand. Adding more copies of these popular titles to classroom libraries will help ensure that more students are able to have the opportunity to choose and read these popular titles daily. Daily reading will improve the reading stamina, accuracy and fluency of the reader.

ELA RF.1.4 Students will read with accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.

They will be thrilled to have so many book choices to read each day to strengthen their reading accuracy, fluency, and stamina.
