My students enjoyed reading Harry Potter very much. Throughout the unit my students were able to build their skills on reading comprehension through the magic of Harry Potter. They learned values such as trust, loyalty, and friendship. They improved their abilities to write short-constructed responses using the novel study that coincided with the book. My students learned the elements of literature such as characters, plot, conflict and resolution, and setting. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has opened my students' minds to other worlds and imagination. I have students who are already wanting to continue the story and are reading the next Harry Potter book! My students love reading now. Before, they were choosing graphic novels and easy-to-read books. Now they are checking out full chapter books and are allowing their own imaginations to grow. We had a Harry Potter themed Halloween party where we watched the movie and enjoyed Harry Potter themed snacks and favors.\r\n\r\nThank you again so much for your kindness.
