We read books everyday in Reading Workshop. Students need lots and lots of books to read every week. We have a variety of readers in my classroom and that is why we need more books for all interests and levels. With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own level. They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
