Big Books, Big Impact: Help Us Store Our Storytime Favorites

Help me give my students a organized space for all of our big books!

My Project

My classroom is filled with wonderful, oversized books that spark imagination, build early literacy skills, and bring joy to our read-aloud time. However, without a proper place to store them, these big books often get damaged, lost, or become difficult for students and teachers to access.

With your support, I am requesting a Big Book Organizer to safely and neatly store our collection.

This storage solution will keep our books upright, visible, and easy to reach, making it much more inviting for students to engage with them independently and during shared reading time. By having our big books organized and accessible, students will be more encouraged to explore stories on their own, build print awareness, and develop vocabulary and comprehension—all critical foundations for strong reading skills.

This organizer will help us preserve these valuable resources and create a more literacy-rich environment where every child can grow as a reader.
