Empathy Through Reading
Funded Aug 21, 2019Our new books have provided my students with an opportunity to develop a love of literature. They can connect to new experiences and characters in a way that for many of them, they have never been able to do before. Prior to this year, most of my students were required to read whatever was asked of them in class. Throughout the year, every student can read books of their choice for independent reading, regardless of topic or genre. Each day we start with time to independently read and throughout the year we make entries in our Reader's Notebooks, to help us stay accountable in our weekly page goals and to further connect and think critically about our books.
It is awesome to have students come into class excited about their books. So many times throughout the week, students will enthusiastically tell me about their books, where they are and if they can check out their next one. Thank you to all our donors that helped us along the way!”
