My Project

I am a 5th-grade reading teacher in a Title I school district. I teach a variety of students ranging from Gifted and Talented, English as a Second Language Learners, SPED as well as different races and ethnicities. I have a library with several different titles and genres, but over my several years of teaching 5th-grade reading, you begin to learn the interests of your students and the things they enjoy reading.

With these books, I plan to not only expand my library but to grab the attention and interests of more of my students.

It has been a struggle getting my students to enjoy reading for enjoyment or Silent Sustained Reading time. With new titles and things they’ve shown interest in my hope is to see more enjoyment in independent reading.
