Beginning Readers for First Grade!

Help me give my students beginning readers to build confidence and a love for reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wheeler's classroom raised $284

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom is in need of high-interest grade level books! I would love for my classroom family to be blessed with new books they can read independently or with a friend!

These beginning readers will help my students build confidence as they successfully read and fall in love with new characters!

My students love for reading has grown so much this year and I feel new books will help increase their comprehension skills and love for literacy! They need texts they feel confident reading and I feel these beginning readers will help them be successful!
