My Students

I have 24 wonderful students who are excited about learning. 20 of them however are far below grade level reading at kindergarten and first grade levels because of Covid and having to stay home and learn online. As a second grade teacher I do not have enough kinder and first grade books for them as this is the first time nearly my whole class is struggling to learn to read. I am determined to get them all to not only read, but love to read!

My Project

This project will help my students catch up on the basic standards (CCSS ELA-Literacy RL 1.1-1.10) that they missed in first grade and kindergarten because of the Covid pandemic and having to stay home to learn instead of going to school. They will be able to learn the second grade standards (CCSS ELA-Literacy RL 2.1-2.10) in reading and become fluent, proficient readers ready for third grade by the end of the year. Students will be using these books in small guided reading groups and individually for daily reading in class and at home.
