Facilitate Reading Fluency

Funded Oct 24, 2019

Thank you again for your generous donations. My students love using the comprehension cubes, the story cubes and reading strips that were generously donated. The comprehension cubes provide students with prompts to aid in their reading comprehension in a fun and meaningful way. They also provide movement opportunities for students that need movement breaks. Students use the pre-reading cubes to make predictions, activate prior knowledge and share their thinking in a fun way.

The Story Cubes enable students to create narratives based on the cubes and students have a variety of cubes to choose from, Fantasy, Voyages, Action, and Original, their story possibilities are endless! Students create their own narratives and can look to the cubes for inspiration. Most recently, my students combined all of the cubes and created an epic story! Each student took turns adding more detail, it was such a fun and educational activity.

The reading strips have helped many students with their decoding and tracking as they read. Our school just completed mid-year reading assessments and all students have increased their reading levels! My students have increased their confidence in their reading, both in decoding and in their comprehension. Thank you all again for your generous donations!”

With gratitude,
