Guided Reading Books to Learn and Grow!

Funded Mar 10, 2018

I wanted to send an update on the impact of having resources in my classroom such as books for guided reading. Seventy percent of my students have moved levels in reading by the end of June, with one student achieving level E in reading. None of my students came to my class knowing how to read a single word, or knowing how to put letters together to make a word. Thirty percent of my students can read at a Level A, which is still a huge achievement for them. I am proud of all of my students. Without having a wide selection of fun books to read, students are not motivated to read. Because of your support, my library is filled with books catered to interests and subjects my students are interested in. The best feeling is when a student specifically asks for a book about frogs or elephants, and you can joyfully show them a book from the library so they can read it. My students always looked forward to reading time, and most important in this experience is having the chance to browse through different books in a library. I wanted to thank you for making reading an exciting experience, for not just this class, but future classes.”

With gratitude,
