  • Making Reading Fun!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you so much for your help in funding this project! Our students are definitely building a love for reading and applying their phonic skills in their new decodable books. In small group instruction, the students are eager to learn and read.

    There is so much for students to learn before they are able to read independently! The early years are spent establishing early literacy skills. Once the students have these basic literacy foundational skills in place, they are ready to use those skills to learn to read simple books with repetitive text, familiar sight words, and fun and engaging stories. The books that I received through your generous donations have all of these things that students need to start reading! Most of my students are now readers and love these books because they contain familiar characters throughout the set and are able to read them independently."”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Katherine Schneider

  • Build a Love for Reading!

    Funded Feb 4, 2020

    We couldn't thank you enough for funding our "Building a Reading Life Project"! The students are so enthusiastic about the books they have been reading and learning an abundance of skills from. Through these fun and engaging books our students want to read everyday and have rich discussions around the text they are reading.

    These books have absolutely transformed reading in the classroom. Students are engaged and participating in deep, critical conversations. Students are actually thinking while they are reading as opposed to just continuously reading with out thought. Students are even setting goals to read all of the new books because they are topics that interest the them. These books have also made book clubs much more fun. Students have a choice of which book they want to read and because they get to choose the book there is so much enjoyment in reading. We are very appreciative that you made this project come to life for the students!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Katherine Schneider

About two- thirds of the fourth grade students are reading below grade level. These materials will make a difference. They learn reading strategies such as looking for context clues, understanding syntax or word structure, and using inference skills, to help them read text that may be unfamiliar to them. In the small group, students can also learn from and support each other. As educators, we know promoting students who have not acquired basic skills for socioeconomic reasons is neither equitable nor effective. For students to move forward in learning, they must receive high-quality reading instruction. It is not enough to know strategies, educators must know how to put the pieces together, and that is reliant on critical thinking and effective decision making in guided reading. Ensuring that books are available to any child at any time of the year will be a good first step in enhancing the reading achievement of low-income students and an the reading achievement gap.
