Each grade is special, but grade 1 is a magical year of growth for learning to read. Most kids enter grade 1 as beginner readers and throughout the year show tremendous growth. In order to achieve success they need to read, read and read. They need plenty of opportunities of instruction, independent practice and being read to both in school and at home. Unfortunately due to a lengthy time of distance learning in kindergarten and the almost 3 months of summer, kids will be far below grade level. I need leveled books for my classroom library for my kids to select from for independent reading time for at school and home. Providing rich literature for my students to listen to and discuss is priceless. I also need read aloud books to read to my class which focus on a variety of genres, developmentally appropriate themes, social issues and topics. I appreciate your consideration of funding my project. Thank you!
