My students need leveled books to increase their literacy skills. As a special educator, we have to differentiate instruction, and all the students are reading at different reading levels. If their literacy skills increase, the students will be able to move on to less restrictive environments within the education system. Once they become fluent readers they will be able to teach themselves and others! Unfortunately, our resources are scarce and it is best for children to read books that are paired to their independent and instructional levels of teaching to help them become stronger in building their reading fluency and reading comprehension.
Reading is FUNdamental, develops our minds, helps us to discover new things, and develops our imaginations! Having leveled books and a storage cart in our classroom will not only encourage the children to read more and gain a love for reading because they will have texts that are more appropriate to their reading level.
