Creating Emergent Readers

Help me give my students extra resources to allow them the opportunity to become independent readers. I am teaching 1st grade this year and I would love to build confidence with leveled readers and math tools. Thank you!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I love my students’ motivation to learn. They love and care deeply for others at this age. Learning is important and I want my students to become independent readers. I would like for students to develop a love for reading. I want reading to be fun and exciting. By giving students a variety of leveled books to read, their interest and confidence should definitely increase. Reading is very important and necessary to be success in all areas of learning. I would like to give them this opportunity at an early age.
