Project Goal

I teach students with learning disabilities who are below level, reluctant readers. Most of them do not read for enjoyment because it is daunting task. My goal is to create a personal library of books that have a high interest level and low readability so my students will develop a love for reading. 

 

How Project Benefits Students

Often my students go to the library and they choose books above their reading level-they want to look cool in front of their friends-and never end up reading the books. If I have a personal library, I can guide students to getting books on their reading level-books they can read independently. Also some of the books I am requesting are designed for students with reading disabilities (like dyslexia); the font is designed to make reading easier for students with dyslexia. Some of the books I requested have simple sentences with easy to decode words. By having easy access to these books, my students will be able to get books with fun, age-appropriate topics/interests on their level. 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

I expect my students to develop a love for reading and increase their reading skills/abilities. I primarily work with students in fourth and fifth grade. If students do not learn decoding/phonics before leaving elementary, there is a good chance these student will never learn these skills which can have detrimental impacts on their schooling and life skills. These books will allow my students to apply the skills I am teaching them and increase their reading skills. 

 

Detailed Cost Summary

After researching these books online for price and availability, I found that Amazon was the best place to order books from.
