Most of my students don't have access to brand new books. They were so excited to just touch these chapter books and flip through them when I first announced the wonderful gift we received. We will be using these books in a couple different ways. One will be a read aloud as a whole class. I want to engage my students to have the belief and confidence that they can start and finish a chapter book. I want them to be introduced to the world of reading and see that they can go anywhere with a good book! I want to encourage them to be life-long readers. \r\n\r\nThe other books will be used in small groups and as a tool to teach comprehension strategies. They will read their book with a small group and answer vocabulary questions, comprehension questions, understand the characters more, etc. We normally use a reading basal to teach these skills, but I have learned over the years that students enjoy a chapter book much more! It's more entertaining and there is more in depth discussion that comes along with it. Plus, they feel challenged and proud of themselves when they finish a book.","fullyFundedDate":1749226068981,"projectUrl":"project/fall-in-love-with-reading-during-a-novel/9317832/","projectTitle":"Fall in Love With Reading During a Novel Study","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Grove","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8914975_orig.jpg?crop=328,328,x22,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746388365448","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8914975"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_20245","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":311,"numTeachers":26,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":28,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.0,"schoolId":20245,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Frank H Wheeler Elementary School 4 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Frank H Wheeler Elementary School 4","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/speedway-school-district/frank-h-wheeler-elementary-school-4/20245"}
