Thank you Kane Schools Foundation For Students.

Third grade is a transition year in reading. Students go from learning to read to reading to learn new things. They go from reading small picture books to reading books with chapters. It is a challenge for students to make that jump. If they can develop a love of reading and find the book that connects with them, they can become life long readers. That is the goal of the reading program at Valley Elementary third grade.

We are having wonderful success with our reading program. We have an extensive third grade library that has book of all levels. It is very important to match a student with books that are in the correct reading level range AND are interesting to them. The books must not be too easy because then they will not grow. They also cannot be too difficult because then the student will be frustrated. Because all students differ in their interests, it is vital to have a wide range of topics and reading levels. We have such a library here in our classroom thanks, in part to the Kane School Foundation for Students. They have donated books to use in our classroom.
