Building a Book Nook for Ms. Bejar's 4th Grade Class

Funded Aug 15, 2024

Our new books have transformed reading in my classroom by building essential skills and fostering a love for literature. These texts support lessons in critical thinking, comprehension strategies, and vocabulary development. Students are learning to analyze characters, identify themes, and make inferences, deepening their understanding of texts while connecting them to their own experiences. They're also developing fluency through read-alouds and collaborative group work.

Our reading corner has become a hub of exploration and their favorite part of the classroom, where students eagerly browse books, share recommendations, and dive into stories. Pair reading and group discussions encourage collaboration, while journaling and creative projects let students express their interpretations in unique ways.

There are students was initially hesitant about reading but recently found a connection to a character in one of our new books. This has sparked interest, and now students are not only reading more but leading discussions about stories. Seeing their confidence grow has been inspiring!

These books are helping all my students build stronger skills while discovering the joy of reading. Thank you for helping bring this experience to life!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Bejar
