Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 20

Florida’s reading standards are intensive, but thanks to these books we have been able to learn in fun and engaging ways. This collection of 20 books has helped us with comparing and contrasting characters, tracing the plot of a story, understanding fiction and nonfiction, and much more. The books’ diversity appeals to all my students, and they can each find something relatable with the characters and authors. Because of this, their overall understanding of the content is higher, and they are more engaged in their learning. I have seen a tremendous amount of improvement in their test scores, and their comprehension level continues to climb.

What will be done with my students

We will use these books throughout the year in our Reading lessons. The texts have been strategically selected because they tie into multiple content standards including: English Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Technology, and Math.

Benefits to my students
