Your kindness has made a meaningful difference in my students' reading experiences.\r\n\r\nOne of our favorite classroom traditions is First Chapter Fridays, when I read the first chapter of a book aloud to introduce students to new authors, genres, and stories. Students often become so interested in a story that they cannot wait to check out the book and discover what happens next.\r\n\r\nI have also established a classroom library checkout system that allows students to borrow books and enjoy them independently. \r\n\r\nOne of my favorite success stories involves a student who borrowed a book from the Spy Kids series and enjoyed it so much that their parents purchased the entire series!
