The primary grades are such a crucial age for students to develop not only fundamentals of reading but also a LOVE for reading! Research has proven time and time again that all students love reading as long as they are reading the right books! Having Leveled Readers in the classroom will allow students to choose books they can read at an independent level. I plan to have each student chart their growth using the leveled books so that they can visually see themselves becoming evolved readers! In my 2018-2019 classroom, I will strive to cultivate a love of reading with my first graders! At this age, students begin to make the jump from learning HOW to read, to learning FROM their reading! The letter stamping kit will encourage students to practice their sight words daily in an exciting, hands-on manner! Throughout the day, students will have the ability to choose from flexible seating options while they are reading. This process will entail problem-solving skills and decision-making which is an important life skill! Whisper phones are a great way for students to truly hear how they are reading! Bingo games will create a fun and engaging way for students to practice sight words and also build on life skills such as being a good team player!
