Through our novel studies, students practice comprehension, making predictions, identifying themes, analyzing characters, making connections, and supporting their thinking with evidence from the text. The variety of books, including graphic novels, realistic fiction, fantasy, and nonfiction, also allows students to explore different writing styles and genres while discovering what interests them most.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom looks a little different depending on the day. We incorporate novel studies, independent reading, and opportunities to share thoughts and discuss what we are reading. One of the most exciting things has been seeing students challenge themselves to read more. About half of my class has set a personal goal of reading at least five Bluebonnet books so they can participate in voting for the next list of books. Students are beginning to take ownership of their reading choices, have conversations about books with classmates, and get excited about what they want to read next.\r\n\r\nI have enjoyed watching students who may not typically choose reading as their first activity become interested in these new books. Having a variety of stories available allows students with different interests and reading preferences to find something they connect with. Some enjoy exploring the illustrations and graphic novels, while others are drawn into the characters and storylines of longer books. It has also been meaningful to see students connect with characters and experiences that reflect parts of their own lives.\r\n\r\nAs a fifth-grade teacher, one of my biggest goals is to help students become confident readers who see reading as more than just another school assignment. These books are helping make that happen. Thank you for investing in my students, expanding their reading opportunities, and helping foster a love of reading that I hope they carry with them long after they leave my classroom.

It was impactful for students to see figurative language being used in a book they were reading for fun. It provided ways for students to understand how the skills we learn in class can be used in everyday life. \r\nIn addition to the class set of Stella novels, students have been enjoying the books that were nominated for the Bluebonnet award. Students are motivated to read these books during independent reading time because they are new and have been voted on and recommended by children their own age. \r\nI am grateful for the impact your donation has made.
