Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 460

As we all know reading is important and allows students to reinforce their comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency skills. Empowering students to pick books of interest and on their own individual reading levels will only set them up for success. When we are able to celebrate reading we then send a message of how fun it can be and how important it is.

Mr. Richard J. and Dr. Roberta Walsh were kind enough to fund our Super Reader Brag Tags for our 2021-2022 school year. The kids are absolutely loving reading and earning reading counts points. Students are taking their own responsibility for reading and setting their own goals. They ae also tracking their reading counts points monthly.

We have many children that have surpssed the goal of 300 Reading Counts points and many of the younger kids are participating in it as well!

We have been able to create a culture that celebrates and values a love for reading. We are so thankful that this grant was funded!

this is an example of the monthly power point that

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Our goal is to encourage and motivate ALL children to read. We will continue to inspire and develop a love of reading in ALL children.

What will be done with my students

The students will choose library books on their independent reading levels from the Shadowlawn Media Center. Each learner will read their books at their own pace and then will complete a short reading counts quiz to verify comprehension. Once students pass the quiz then they will earn points. The more they read the more points they earn. The students will set monthly goals and will be responsible for keeping track of their progress. When they get to certain point increments then they will get their brag tags for their necklaces.

Benefits to my students

This year our school wide goal is "Lead to Succeed." All brag tags will be super hero themed. Our school wide reading goal will be based on our reading counts points program. Students will benefit because this goal will help improve their reading proficiency by improving vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency skills. Reading and receiving brag tags will help students build personal responsibility toward increasing their reading achievement by allowing them to set quantifiable reading goals and track their own progress. The students will also see that they are part of whole school community not only tracking their own progress but will see every month how their progress affects their classroom, grade level and school wide goals monthly as well.
