Ms. Jessica - Got Books (Primary) donor project focuses on primary students (K-2nd). Through the collections of leveled readers I have requested, my young students will be able to develop their skills in decoding and fluency. After learning and recognizing sound patterns in words, my students will be able to experience discovering those patterns through authentic experiences in literature with these books. In addition, each child in my small group will be able to have their own book to read, follow along as their peers read, or follow along as they listen to the accompanying CD.
