• Reader's Cafe

  Funded Feb 2, 2022

  Thank you again for your support in my classroom. The way that I use these texts in my classroom is by incorporating them into my curriculum. We study various attributes about literature such as synonyms, hyperboles, metaphors, plot, summarization, and character development.

  In my classroom reading is all about helping students disconnect from technology and use their imagination. Reading in my classroom is done in various groups of students based on their fluency levels. Students read by taking turns and discussing what was read.

  My fluent readers are enjoying the text with more print than images because it challenges their fluency and helps them read longer. My reluctant readers really are enjoying the graphic novels because the images help them connect to the text and remain engaged.

  Thank you again donors for helping me make my classroom a library for all readers”
