Funded Oct 26, 2018The scholastic readers have made a tremendous impact in my classroom. My students look forward to reading these booklets every Friday. It is wonderful to have material that my students are interested in. These weekly readers provide a way for my entire class, including students with disabilities, to be engaged in reading. The students that are reading become leaders in my classroom to help the students that struggle to read.
The scholastic weekly readers have been a great addition to my classroom because my students get the opportunity to learn about current events. This was not always the case for my students as we do not have a social studies curriculum. I believe it is very important for my students to know about what is going on in the world. The weekly readers provide age appropriate material to educate my students about current events. The last one my students read was about spending the holidays with family and making cookies. After the break I had a few students tell me about how they went home and made cookies with their mom or dad. It really made my heart smile.
I cannot thank you enough for allowing my students access to such a wonderful program. The best part is seeing the smiles on their faces when it is weekly reader time. Especially students that struggle to read or are not very motivated to read. This is fun and engaging for them.”
