Book-Tastic Work

Funded Sep 24, 2024

My students have been able to thoroughly prepare for the Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl. Each student is able to take books back and forth home to read instead of being limited to sharing just one copy of the book. In addition, students have been able to form small literature circles and discuss the books. We have been able to use the books to do fact checking related to the plot and characterization. Our hope is that being equipped with the books well in advance of our reading bowl competition in January will help us to perform our best. Aside from preparation for the competition, the connections that students have been able to make from reading the books are invaluable.”
