Help Ms. Edwards

We are rocking out with reading this year. I teach Title I reading and want to make sure my students are excited about reading and becoming more fluent. It is my goal to get all my students to benchmark by the end of this school year.

I work at a small school with little funding for materials. Our Title I students make up about one third of our population in grades Kindergarten through third. It is essential that these students make large gains in order to be successful later in life.

We live in a music age, where Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and American Idol are the craze. I plan to appeal to their love of this music, by teaching fluency using lyrics. In order to do this, the students must first hear the songs and be able to re-listen to them as needed. Being without a CD player makes this impossible.

You can help these students learn to read by helping fund this project. I have selected a CD Player that will hold all the CDs they will listen to which will cut down on class disruptions. I am excited to get started, the students are excited to get started, and hopefully I've shown you enough to get you excited about helping these struggling students learn to read.
