Reading Materials
“My students seem to really enjoy the books that are used during the Making Meaning lessons. The lessons are well structured
and I believe the focus lessons are helping my students to look more carefully at main
characters, problems, solutions, and making inferences.”
I LOVE this new curriculum! This new program is everything I love about reading. Making connections, mental images, questioning, nonfiction text, inferring… I could go on and on and on. In my classroom I have seen my students come alive with excitement and wonder. They are investigating and challenging themselves. They are becoming readers so much faster than when we had McGraw Hill holding us back.
Thank you for fighting for this, for believing in this and for giving us the tools and the time to teach kids to LOVE reading.
