My Project

Having these reading books to use in our groups help my students grow. They foster a love for reading. My students cannot wait to see what story we will read each day. This project will help my students by providing them with books of interest as well as materials on their specific reading level; books such as The Library Fish Learns To Read, Bloom, and Busy Betty.

We LOVE reading!

In my classroom, I foster a love for reading. We read every day. I love to give my students books that they are interested in. This helps create a classroom environment filled with a love for reading. The requested books will give my students a classroom environment that help my students become proficient readers as they develop their literacy skills as they read books that are high-interest and engaging to them.
