My Students

My first graders are longing to read age-appropriate, quality literature by some of the "greats" but have yet to be introduced to them!

I am teaching a class of first graders who are eager to truly engage in great literature as they build their reading skills and fluency.

Most of them are from impoverished families and have few literacy building experiences prior to entering school. Our school is a Title 1 school located in a rural area.

My Project

The "Favorite Authors" collections I am requesting will aid my students in building their own list of favorites through age-appropriate, highly engaging literature. We will use them for independent/partner reading, shared reading and author study activities. We will also use them as models of good writing to help inspire the students' own writing. Through these "greats" the students will develop a true love for reading...creating life-long readers!

These "Favorite Author" collections will inspire my students to fall in love with reading.

The quality literature and engaging illustrations in these picture books will serve as models for their own writing and illustrating...creating future favorite authors!
