My Students

I am a K-5 Library Media Specialist in southern Ohio. A very high percentage of my students come from a low economical background and begin their educational journey at a disadvantage. My goal is to enrich my students exposure to literary text, encourage their love for reading and exhibit a variety of oral readings on a daily basis. My students are special because they are excited to learn and try new things. They are always interested in new reading materials.

My goal is to spark my student's creativity, imagination and love for Reading by exposing them to a variety of genres within the library setting.

My Project

My K through 5th grade students love story time in the library. With the addition of these new titles, I will be able to challenge and encourage readers at all levels and interests.

Reading aloud is the foundation for literacy development.

It is the single most important activity for reading success (Bredekamp, Copple, & Neuman, 2000). It provides children with a demonstration of phrased, fluent reading (Fountas & Pinnell, 1996). It reveals the rewards of reading, and develops the listener's interest in books and desire to be a reader (Mooney, 1990).
