Goal
Leaders ARE readers. The actual quote attributed to President Harry S. Truman is this: "Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers." The 4th and 5th Grade Teams at Seacrest Country Day School have secured a new literacy program. This program includes novel studies to dive deeply into high-quality literature. The students will explore textual components and engage in shared inquiry discussions as a community of readers. To support the 4th and 5th Grade leader-readers, this grant is purposed to provide students with four (4) hardback copies of novel study books.

What will be done with my students
The 4th and 5th Grade students will be tasked with setting reading goals and demonstrating responsibility in meeting these goals. The students will engage in shared inquiry discussions geared to actively listen and thoughtfully respond to classmates' thoughts and ideas regarding the text(s) while confidently voicing their own opinions and reactions. Additionally, students will investigate textual components to develop critical and creative thinking skills.
Benefits to my students
As a community of readers, the 4th and 5th Grade students will engage in novel studies that encourage deep thinking and shared inquiry discussions. The ability to actively listen, think critically, and respond authentically and respectfully to the ideas and opinions of others is an essential leadership skill. The 4th and 5th Grade novel studies provide foundational experiences for leader-readers.
Budget Narrative
All books will be purchased from Amazon using the school's account. The books will be tax exempt and shipping fees waived.
