My Project

I would love to be able to give my students the opportunity to experience a variety of books. My students also need to interact with informational text. I want to be able to expose them to interesting informational text with a variety of National Geographic Kids books. I also want to expose them to award-winning books.

My hope is to foster of a love of reading in all of my students.

With this variety of books, all of my students are sure to find a book that they connect with.
