My third grade students are all from a very rural community. They attend a small Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade school (560 children). A lot of the children have attended the school throughout their entire life. There are not very many transfers in and out of the school, so it is very much a family environment. Many of the students are from low income families, and do not have access to quality books, or any books at all for that matter, save what I have in my classroom. Most of them really enjoy reading, or trying to read. However, they still depend strongly on pictures in stories. I can see them struggling with books on their own. When I read them a read-aloud, they are mesmerized. I can see that with the right tools, these kids would really love reading. The desire is there, but in my classroom, the materials are not. As a second year teacher, I would love to be able to supply the children with as much literacy access as possible.
