These books will make a incredible difference in the lives of my students. I currently do not have a leveled library in my classroom and so it is very difficult for the kids to independently choose books. My goal is to give all my children as much individual attention as possible, so it would be such a time saver if they could know which box they were able to choose from.
A word that is constantly being said in my classroom is, Fluency. I'm continuously discussing with them how important it is to read like you're having a conversation with your best friend. If they can increase their fluency, then they can really focus on the content that they are reading. This is such an important skill in third grade, where we are reading to learn instead of learning to read. Right now I'm constantly finding fluency for the kids to practice in different locations, so it would make such a difference if I had the fluency boxes for the kids to practice.
