Give the Gift of Reading!

Help me give my students the ability to be able to read a book that is on their level so that they feel successful and are not feeling defeated because the book is too hard.

My Project

The books that were selected will give each student in my class the ability to be successful at reading a book, independently. We do not have many books that are directly geared to one level that my kids can read. After they read the book we can do fun activities to make sure they have understood what they read. They will answer questions, discuss the story, make puppets or other craft projects. They will not be able to do anything if they are not able to actually read the book. They also feel so excited when they are able to actually read the book on their own.
