My Project

My 2nd grade students have a love for reading! They are always asking to take a trip to our classroom library to pick out new books. I would love to provide my students with various decodable books and leveled readers to help enhance their reading skills!

Many of my students are below grade level, so these skill-based books will help improve their fluency, comprehension, and decoding skills.

My goal with these books is to help my low-leveled readers gain confidence when it comes to reading! Surrounding my students with new books will help open their minds and grow their reading skills!

The supplies will be used during small group instruction and during independent reading time. These reading materials will go a long way with my students and will help them succeed!
