Goal
The goal for Read to Succeed is to help our students increase vocabulary, comprehension skills, and to make them more successful readers by providing chapter book sets for second grade language arts teachers to share with students.
What will be done with my students
Students will use these chapter book sets in small groups and whole groups with the teachers' guidance and instruction to improve their reading skills in areas such as story elements, comprehension, analyzing, summarizing, and vocabulary skills. These books are selected from the Walton County recommended book list for students.
Benefits to my students
Research shows clearly that reading practice is an essential part of growing vocabulary and critical thinking skills to make successful students. Improving their reading skills will help students succeed in all areas of their educational journey and for years to come. If we receive this grant, we will use the ten classroom book sets listed to enhance our language arts instruction and help cultivate a love for reading in our students.
Budget Narrative
These funds will be used to purchase ten book sets. The total cost of this project is $1455.60.
