Project Goal

I have wonderful group of students that start in middle school in 6th grade and over three years come to the media center to check out books. Some of the students that come are considered struggling or reluctant readers and may come in reading at a 4th or a 5th grade level. As a media specialist I pride myself in finding the right book for the right student and if awarded this grant I will have more books for the reluctant readers to get them back into the game of reading.

My goal is to support my students in Language Art so they can read at their grade level. The standard - LAFS.K12.L.2.3 - covers reading from K-12.
Apply knowledge of language to understand how language functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning or style, and to comprehend more fully when reading or listening. 

 

How Project Benefits Students

The students come to the media center to find a good book to read. The book can’t be too hard or too easy or too long or too short. To see a student find a book or series of books that interest them is one of my greatest joy as a media specialist. These books range from Timmy Failure and his escapades to the adventures of Phoebe and her unicorn. Each story different, each story unique just like my students.

My students that are struggling or reluctant readers have a difficult time picking a book of interest. The students often don’t like books that are of interest to middle school students due to length or vocabulary. We need to recognize that not all middle school students are reading at a middle school level. These students need books available for them to check out to peak their interest in reading and work as a gateway books into harder books in that category. 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

Over the course of three years as students come into the library, I expect 10% of struggling and reluctant readers that come to the library to find a book or series that they find of interest and want to check out more books similar to the one they like.
