Goal

The goal of this project is to encourage all students in my third grade class to read this year's Sunshine State Readers during the school year and pass a reading comprehension test on each book.  

What will be done with my students

Students will be given access to all 15 current Sunshine State Readers to read throughout the school year. As a student finishes a book, they will be given special access to the website "Book Taco" which has comprehension tests for all of the Sunshine State Readers as well as other activities that will motivate students to read. The website will track success for each student as the year progresses. To further motivate students, I will host a special Let's "Taco" About Books celebration at the end of the school year for all who have finished at least 10 of the 15 books. This celebration will include a book talk with a special lunch of...tacos of course!  

Benefits to my students

My goal every year in third grade is to foster a love for reading in every way possible so that each of my students leaves my class knowing how much joy reading can bring. I have always wanted students to understand that although we will work to become the best readers we can be in order to be successful in school, we should also understand that reading can bring so many other things to us beyond the classroom. Using this project, I want my students to experience the excitement of reading books they might not have chosen on their own as well as have a goal to reach that has an amazing reward (tacos and talking!) that will give them the fun push to achieve it!
