My Project

Each student has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. The focus of this project is to work on building grade-level reading skills while targeting the specific reading ability levels of each student.

Each student will be able to participate in a novel study regardless of their current reading level!

"Dinosaurs Before Dark", "The One and Only Ivan", and "No Talking" are a few examples of novels that can be used in the classroom for students across multiple reading levels (below grade level, at grade level, and above grade level).
