Up for Improving Reading

Funded Dec 30, 2016

Thank you so much for donating materials and books for my students. My students are from grades K-5. They are English Language Learner, students who are improving their speaking, reading, listening, and writing in the English language.

We have used these materials and books to discuss, read and writing about the books. We have used strips to write and identify main idea, story plot, details etc about these books. We focus on different skills and variety of strategies to fully understand different text.

We focused on all 4 language components to learn and enjoy literacy. This school year has shown language growth by the help of these materials. My older grades have enjoyed using the HOT DOTS cards for their reading comprehension. I have even used them to create higher level questions to deepen their understanding more. The students from all my grade levels have should more independence. It's incredible to see especially my beginners, who didn't speak, write or read much in English and now they speak, read and write in full sentences.

Again thank you for your kindness in donating and helping these students from all grades and language learning levels.”

With gratitude,

Ms. C.
