  • Learning History and Science Through Graphic Novels

    Funded Oct 20, 2024

    Thank you very much for these books rich in content written in a way to engage many readers. These books will be in the classroom library for all to read anytime. They highlighted during related content areas. I am very appreciative to have these books available for the students and I’m sure the students will enjoy them.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McVeigh

  • Learning About Acceptance and Family

    Funded Oct 19, 2021

    Thank you very much for funding this project. The students will appreciate having their own books during this read aloud unit. Having their own books will allow me to create lessons for a more in depth book study. These books will also give students an opportunity to think critically about the story and show their thinking in their reading journals.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. McVeigh

Read aloud is more powerful when each student has a copy of the book in their hands. When doing a read-aloud, it is best if all students have a copy of the text so that they can follow along, usually taking notes as they listen. They can see new vocabulary as it is read to them. As they follow along at the rate I am reading, it may help with their rate of reading when they read their own books. When the students have their own copy of the book, they can refer back to the book when looking for evidence to support character analysis, theme ideas, and other ideas they may have about the book.
