My Students

I teach literacy to two different sets of classes. Many of my students love to read and are constantly looking for new and engaging books. Some of my students however are reluctant readers. They rarely finish a chapter book from cover to cover. My job is to not only to teach the students how to read, but also to motivate them to become lifelong readers and thinkers. To do this, I need to be able to provide my students with a wide range of titles and levels.

My Project

My goal is to instill a love of reading in my students and to help them become lifelong readers. I would like to spark my students' interest and enthusiasm about reading. I would like to see my students pick out good books, read, and have discussions about them. To do this, I need to be able to provide my students with a classroom library full of engaging books. Literacy consultant and author, Jennifer Serravallo, stated, "Without engagement, you've got nothing." The books I am looking to add to my library will help ignite the love of reading in my students.
