My Students

I am the K-2 Title I reading teacher in a low income southwest Missouri school district. I work with approximately 30 students, either individually or in small groups.

I love working with the youngest struggling readers who usually still have the "love of learning".

Their potential for learning can only go up if I can help them see the relevance of how learning to read is a vital life-long skill.

I do a variety of reading assessments to help guide my instruction and also collaborate with the classroom teachers. I strive to use many multi-sensory strategies to address my students' many learning needs.

My Project

As a reading teacher I am always trying to find books that hold the attention of my students. Young and old students love to learn about the changing world around them.

These nonfiction frog and turtle books will be catch the attention of my young beginning readers.

Students need the opportunity to practice reading and what is even better is when the books are interesting and fun. They can shore up their reading skills and acquire new knowledge about the world around them.

I have some tadpoles that we are watching grow right now in my classroom. The tadpole to frog book will help them while watching the tadpoles grow.
