The students were presented with their book at this time, and the second grade teacher personally autographed each one! \r\n\r\nBecause every student has their own book, we have been able to strengthen important literacy skills such as comprehension, making predictions, asking questions, and identifying story elements like characters and setting. Students are also building vocabulary and fluency as they reread and engage more deeply with the text.\r\n\r\nHaving their own copy of a book written by one of their teachers has increased confidence and participation—students are excited to follow along, share their thinking, and truly see themselves as readers.
