My Project

“What if each page of a picture book was guaranteed to enhance a child’s reading and writing tenfold?” The read-alouds in this project do just that. Utilizing Maria Walther’s “The Ramped Up Read Aloud” tunes students into what to notice, say, and wonder in order to bolster their literacy.

The students in my classroom have the power to change the world around them.

It’s my job to prepare learners for that future and what better way than through the perspectives found between the pages?

The titles in this project will help with: classroom community-building; celebrating the written word; building a foundation for reading and writing; expanding their vocabulary; encouraging beginning writers; fostering perspective-taking, empathy, and growth mindset; and park collaborative conversations.

My first graders are at the foundational level of their education career. Sparking their love for reading and curiosity about where and when a book can take them will impact their future in a multitude of ways.
