My first graders have been learning strategies to become proficient readers, but in the time of Covid 19, practicing this has become a daunting task. First graders practice best through action- kinesthetically speaking. Creating daily opportunities to build the children's reading skills has become difficult because no longer are the students able to share books from the classroom library. It is extremely important to provide young readers with a print rich environment daily. Throughout this year, I have been printing out and making paper books for my students, so that they can read with the books in their hands, but they have been from a regular printer, and honestly, without color many stories lose their appeal, especially with the younger grades. A color printer will help us to create and promote a love of reading!
