Learning to Love Reading!

Funded Oct 5, 2018

Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom. The Dog Man series, Bad Guys, Dork diaries and other graphic novels we received have been a big hit. I have several students who are below grade level in reading. It is so wonderful to see them get excited about books. I love that my classroom library can offer my students interesting and fun books to read and I have you, the donors to thank for that!

In second grade we spend a lot of time focusing on reading and the skills we need to be good readers. Accelerated Reader is a program that lets students take a quiz after they read a book to check for comprehension. My students feel so accomplished when they complete a 242 page Dog Man book and then make a 100 on the AR test. It is so fun to see their faces when they complete a book.

I have one student in particular that was reluctant to read anything at the beginning of the year. She has worked so hard to be able to read a Dog Man book. She is now half way through her first one! That is good stuff!! Thank you again!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Jonas
