All of my students participate in independent and shared reading in class. Currently, students read at their desks or sit on the floor. Most of my students have struggled with reading, but since reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as a school, my students have grown to love reading! My students were not successful in traditional schools for a variety of reasons. Book boats will help students to respect one another's personal space, while providing them a comfortable and fun area to enjoy a good book. Book boats are storage bins that students will personalize and sit in while reading. They look forward to creating an independent reading space that is truly their own. By donating to our project you will ultimately help to increase student literacy. Students will be able to simply focus on their books without distractions. Being competent readers is an important life skill. Book boats will help my students continue to expand on their love for reading by providing them a unique and comfortable reading environment where they can get lost in a good book.
