My Project

Beginner books will help students learn to read. Using the strategies we have worked on in class with these beginner books will help students learn to read.

Being able to read books that the students enjoy will help foster the love for reading.

Not only the love for reading, but their confidence as a reader will grow. These 2nd graders who are learning that letters make sounds, need beginner books to start their journey as a reader.

We will read these books together so I can help students with the words, sentences, and meaning of what they have read.

My goal is to help students read and actually want to read for enjoyment.
