My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create in small groups. Though students are in 3rd grade many students are reading below grade level. During small group instruction students are able to learn on their own individualized levels. These guided reading books will allow me to lead a small group using a leveled text on their current reading levels. Doing this will build confidence in students no matter where they are in reading and ensure that I'm able to differentiate and scaffold down based on their needs.
