Books Are Magical!

Help me give my students more books for our classroom library! Some of the titles in this project are familiar favorites while others are new magic waiting to be read aloud!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Satterfield's classroom raised $499

My Project

You would think that books are magic the way my students react to read-alouds! My students eagerly await our next read-aloud every single day. They look forward to continuing series, author studies, enlarged illustrations in big books, and rereading familiar favorites. Each read-aloud is enchanting to them as they get sucked into the story!

“Reading aloud with children is known to be the single most important activity for building the knowledge and skills they will eventually require for learning to read.” -Marilyn Jager Adams

The books in this project will go towards expanding my classroom library, in turn helping to establish that love of reading while growing their desire to learn to read. Reading is a critical skill in today's society, but learning to read and being read to...that's magic!
