Reading Enhances the Mind

Help me give my students a variety of reading material to enhance their reading skills and interest. Help me make reading exciting for every student by putting a book in every child’s hand!

My Project

It’s time to READ! Watching my students travel to different places by reading books is an amazing experience! Help me put a variety of books in our classroom library and enhance their experiences through reading.

My goal is to have a book in every students hands throughout our reading block.

My students don’t always get the opportunity to read at home and I’d love to give them that opportunity at school.

If I can spark the love of reading for my students at a young age, they will carry that love through adulthood. Help me light the fire for every student by providing a variety of opportunities through reading.
