My Students

Reading a chapter book will give my students a sense of accomplishment. My students have a strong desire to read. They are on their way to becoming bookworms.

My students come from high poverty neighborhoods.

We are a Charter school in Philadelphia. They are eager to always learn something new. They have been encourage throughout the year to read books, however I do not have any classroom sets. Most of the students are unable to get to a library and their families are unable to afford to buy the books.

My Project

My students need a classroom set of Hatchet so that we can read this chapter book as a class. I want to provide the students with the opportunity to read the book together in class so that they can learn together. I would like to be able to guide them through reading a chapter book in order to keep their interest up in reading. The reading skills of my students have continued to grow throughout the year. I want to encourage them to push themselves by reading a novel. They will be able to demonstrate their skills through the book. I believe the students will gain a sense of satisfaction by completing a novel.

I believe that this book will help the students develop habits of continuous reading that will last throughout their lives.

Being able to provide each student with their own copy of the book will help them appreciate literature and hopefully promote a lifetime of reading.
