My Project

I am thrilled to embark on a mission to enhance the educational journey of my English Language Learners (ELL) by providing them with engaging and tailored guided reading materials. In our diverse and vibrant classroom, each student brings a unique background and story, and I am committed to fostering their love for learning through literature.

Why Guided Reading Matters:

Guided reading is a cornerstone in developing literacy skills, and it plays a crucial role in the academic success of English Language Learners. These small-group sessions offer personalized attention, enabling students to build confidence, strengthen comprehension, and develop critical language skills.

Our Challenge:

Despite our enthusiasm, we are faced with a challenge – outdated and limited reading materials that fail to capture the cultural diversity and linguistic nuances crucial for our ELL students. We believe that every child deserves access to a rich and inclusive literary experience that reflects their unique identities.

How You Can Make a Difference:

I am reaching out to you, our community of supporters, to help us acquire a new collection of guided reading materials specifically designed for English Language Learners. Your generous contributions will allow us to create an enriching environment where students can explore the world of literature while honing their language skills.
