My kindergarten students need a research based literacy program that includes instructional texts and a leveled library. This project would allow my students to have books for groups and personal use in my classroom. "Kids who have access to great books become readers. There is simply nothing easier, that gets kids reading with tremendous volume, or that lifts reading skills higher than a collection of truly fabulous books.” I have carefully chosen the classroom bookshelves from the Units of Study for kindergarten that I know my students will need to make my classroom successful for this project. My classroom is set up in a reading workshop model so these books would be accessible to them daily. In this workshop model teaching, students are choosing books that interest them and they spend time practicing reading with book boxes with their chosen books. You will also help my students increase their writing skills through mentor texts that support the Units of Study that I teach. These bookshelves include books that will be used to demonstrate when teaching writing as well. I know this project will help my students become more successful and build a foundation for their lifelong learning!
