Books I Can Read!

My students need books at their level that they can practice reading at home. Many of them do not have books at home. These books will be used at school and home!

My Students

I teach 16 amazing kindergarten students in a title I school. This means that the majority of the kids come from low income homes. Many of my students are living with extended family (grandparents, aunts, etc) instead of their original mother and father.

My community also has many different nationalities.

I have 4 students who don't speak English as their primary language at home. I have students with varying disabilities as well, from Speech problems to students with Autism. It is quite a mix!

My students look to me every morning with eager faces ready to see what we are going to learn today. They are truly a wonderful class. Despite their different backgrounds and abilities, we are one happy family in our school!

My Project

My students will be able to practice reading these books independently in class, and most importantly, they will be able to take them home! The resources I currently have are not allowed to go home because they belong to the school. Books like Pete the Cat and Biscuit, will present leveled text and intriguing pictures that students will love.

Readers are built upon reading success!

In order for my kindergartners to love reading, they need the tools to practice with. These books will provide that tool. Parents will also be able to see what level of books their kids need to practice reading and have a hands on example of appropriate texts.
