The Key to Long Term Passion for Reading!

Funded Sep 28, 2021

Our students have been delving into the books we have received thanks to your generosity! During our reading workshop, students had the freedom to explore our new books. Students connected to the stories and many saw themselves reflected by the characters. The central message, themes and gender were some of the interests students expressed when reading these books. Many of my students took the books home and shared them with their parents or loved one.

Our reading workshop period consists of students reading independently after my mini lesson. Students can pick a spot with their partner or sit on their designated seat. Students have the option of choosing high interest books from a basket,reading from their book baggies or digital resources provided by our school.

All my students have expressed the appreciation for learning about other cultures that resonate with theirs. Speaking about how they too share the same passions and interests as the characters. This project truly gave my students the opportunity to read their books through the lens of mirrors and windows.”
