E-Books For Us!
Funded Jun 21, 2013Thank you kindly for funding our project, E-Books For Us! My students are becoming more independent and confident, because they are taking ownership of their literacy development. They love being able to spend time on the computers while reading a story of their choice, and while working to build the most amazing stories.
The quality of book choices allows the students easy access to stories on their level and read-alouds that model oral reading fluency. The students can build up their own personal bookshelves and recommend high interest books to their classmates.
The writing feature has created a new excitement in my developing authors. They are looking forward to sharing their stories weekly with the whole class in an interactive and creative way. It is an amazing resource that would not have been possible without your support.
This project has helped me spark excitement in my students about learning, expand my classroom library, differentiate instruction, support our new Common Core Standards, and helps make reading and writing across the curriculum easier and much more fun! Their interest level in reading and writing continues to increase. That is exciting to me, because reading and writing are my favorite subjects to teach! Thanks again for giving my students an opportunity to engage in reading like never before. Big Universe has brightened their world and mine.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Townsend
