Goal

Our goal is to provide our youngest students with books so that they can foster a love of reading and the library.  

 

What will be done with my students

Our Pre-K students and students with disabilities will be provided children’s literature in the form of a board book. This type of book is easy for little hands to manipulate and will endure the “love” a Pre-K student shows for books. The students will come to the Media Center and be able to access books along with read alouds to promote library skills and a desire to read.  

 

Benefits to my students

Students will be able to develop their personal “Power of Yet”. Rather than saying “this can’t be done”. Their attitude will shift towards “this can’t be done…yet.”

Through this transformation, students will also be able to begin to see themselves as readers. They will learn concepts of print such as directionality, care and handling, and beginning reading skills. They will be able to come to the library and have access to materials that are developmentally appropriate. As our students grow in their reading, they will be able to “read” stories from the pictures, learn, and find high frequency words that appear in literature.
 

 

Budget Narrative

A collection of children’s board books will be purchased to be used in a with Pre-K and students with disabilities in the Vineyards Elementary Media Center. These materials will be available to be used not only in this year, but in the years to come as well.
