My Project

This project is tied directly to our science and reading standards. Students this quarter are tasked with researching an animal's lifecycle and completing a poster or presentation to share with their peers. However, almost half (7/18) of my students are two or more grade levels below in reading. Finding text that is both informative and at their level is very difficult.

These National Geographic readers will allow all my students to access engaging informational text at their reading level to complete their science projects.

The texts also come in various levels so that my higher readers can be challenged as well. A few of the books will be used in a small group setting to help prepare them and acclimate them to non-fiction text. I am excited to put these books in the hands of students to see what they can learn about animal lifecycles and apply them to create dynamic pieces to share with their peers.
