My Students

I am currently a learning support teacher at a public school in Philadelphia, PA. As a learning support teacher I work with third grade students with varying special needs. Each of these students has an Individualized Education Program to help guide their instruction through differentiation, modifications, and accommodations in the classroom. Generally, the students on my caseload perform two to three grades below their grade level expectancy. Many of my students present difficulties with based phonics, decoding and comprehension. They also have difficulties in math including basic operation skills. These students greatly benefit from chapter books which will help challenge and improve their reading comprehension. These books will also closely related to what is taking place within the general education classroom.

My Project

As a learning support teacher many of my third grade students are functioning below grade level. Third grade introduces longer readers and chapter books. In order to work with my students on their level and to mirror the curriculum, I am in need of books closer to their reading levels.

These books with offer them opportunities to improve their word recognition, fluency and comprehension, while providing a fun experience!

We will use these books to explore various vocabulary words, story elements, main idea and supporting details, comprehension questions and more! These new books with be a fun and educational resource!
