My Project

Novel studies are an imperative part of the development of reading comprehension skills in literary works. A lot of reading textbooks limit students to analyzing an excerpt of a novel, but how are they supposed to delve deeper into reading concepts without the entire story? This is why I love novel studies.

Reading, writing, and speaking are important skills.

Without access to literacy materials, students miss out on the chance to learn and communicate with words.

Students will have the opportunity to examine different historical time periods, new cultures, and life circumstances that are different than what they are currently experiencing. Reading these novels, students will analyzing characters, students can develop empathy and learn to understand and relate to the experiences and different perspectives of others. These novels will also assist students with developing vocabulary and decoding skills, in addition to building academic stamina and reading fluency. Students will use these novels to make a bigger impact within their school community. Students will read together in groups, they will read to the second grade classroom using our buddy system, and they will become service stars at their school.
