My Project
As a new middle school reading teacher, I find it challenging to engage my students with books. Having a variety of books in my classroom library will help my students have more to choose from and a more diverse selection.
Reading is the key to unlocking our future and potential. Sparking an interest and excitement through literature is a challenging task but if accepted, well worth it!
Reading books seems to be secondary these days to video games, smartphones, and the internet. Bringing awareness and attention to the world of books and just how important, wonderful, and beneficial they can be, is something that is near and dear to my heart.
Books and knowledge are the key to the future!
