My Students

I work in a second-year school where more than three quarters of our school comes from low-income households. Our school is still growing and changing, and classrooms lack Smartboards and technology. We are an ICT classroom where 40% of our students receive IEPs with special accommodations.

Many of our students are striving readers who are below grade level and working hard to foster a love of learning.

We are working hard to foster this love by giving students multiple opportunities to learn and get excited to read.

My Project

Students will be using a listening center with CDs and matching books that are classic and familiar. During Reading, teachers will be able to meet students and work in a group. While they are working, students can work independently or in groups to read familiar, beloved books and practice reading on their own. This can also be a good choice for free choice time.

Our listening center will allow students to have a hand in their own reading growth.

By listening to a familiar story and following along, students will be able to be able to practice reading skills in a low-stress and fun environment.
