Book Center

My Project

Reading quality literature and exposure to exciting and engaging books encourages literacy and inspires a lifelong love of learning. These books and new book self will refresh, update, and build our library. My students love books that are humorous, inspire conversation, or have a predictability to them. They enjoy can participating in reading aloud during large group book time. We have many interesting conversations over a good book. My students grew up in a world with Covid-19 mandates; group reading has been very beneficial in many ways. We can learn about and have conversations about emotions, social situations, kindness, and inclusion. Reading aloud as a group also creates speech practice opportunities and reading readiness.
