Reading A 500 Page Novel and Loving It
Funded Sep 11, 2012Thank you so much for your generous donations to my project. It allowed for the purchase of 35 copies of Inkheart, a fantasy fiction novel. We read this book every single day in all of my 6 classes of Fundamentals of Reading so literally your donation reaches 130 students on a daily basis.
We are currently on page 300 out of 546. The kids are so excited to have read so many pages. We began by watching the movie so that as we read the students can compare and contrast with the book. This is one of the new standards we adopted for English Language Arts classes. Since many of my students do not typically read the novels many movies are based on, it has opened their eyes on the difference between the two. Hopefully it will also inspire some of them to read the book instead of only seeing the movies.
It will definitely be a source of accomplishment for them when we finish the novel. I am so excited to share this experience with them and cannot wait for the day when they can say they read a 500+ page book.
I am forever grateful to you.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Parker
