Promoting literacy is more than teaching reading skills. It's about helping students discover books they genuinely enjoy reading.
This year, Ms. Germann's 11th and 12th grade students participate in regular "Book Breaks" and have access to the classroom's new Book Stop, a space designed to encourage independent (and enjoyable) reading.
This collection of high-interest titles was built through books gathered by the teacher over the summer, new purchases made by the school, and a generous donation from Sunshine for Sharon Gillespie, an organization dedicated to creating a legacy of readers.
Giving students time during the school day to read for enjoyment, strengthens literacy skills, expands perspectives, reduces stress, and develops habits that will benefit them in the classroom and beyond.
Ms. Germann is currently collecting old magazine issues related to health, fitness, cooking, the outdoors, and vehicles. Please email Ms. Germann at Kristin.Germann@shctc.us if you have any to donate.
