My Project

Reading books daily is what helps children to become great readers. In order for this to happen children need access to books that are on their reading as well as interest level. My students will be able to use the zip lock baggies to take these books home to improve their reading comprehension and practice their reading fluency. This will be one way for my students to show their families what great readers they are becoming.

Many of my students have reading gaps, and I would love to create a space where they can choose books on their levels that they can successfully read independently.

Some of my students can't read because they are ESL learners who are still learning English.
