My Project

As a Reading Intervention teacher, my students often come to me with a bad attitude about reading. They think reading is a chore or is too hard. They work hard to improve their skills and quickly start to feel successful as they read decodable texts that are on their level. However, they need more practice to develop their reading fluency. Since many decodable texts are black and white and boring. It is often hard to convince them to read outside of class or read for fun.

My students need high-interest decodable texts on their levels that are engaging to read and look at!

These books can be read in the classroom or borrowed to practice reading at home. After purchasing a few of these books on my own my students have finally become engaged and excited about reading. Help me grow my collection so that they can grow as readers!
