My students rely on the public library to have access to books at home. Over the past two months I have been sharing stories with them online, but it does not compare to having a book physically in their hands. It would be wonderful for my students to feel excited about reading books that they can call their own. I have selected books at my students' reading levels that not only will they be able to read, but also enjoy. If this project is funded, my students will be able to continue to develop their reading skills at home and be able to get lost in the stories during the pandemic. My students loved going on a weekly basis to the school library to pick a book. I would love to continue to motivate them and increase their love for reading, especially since these are the most critical years of their reading development.
