My Project

As a speech language pathologist I love to incorporate books into my therapy sessions and to motivate my students to read books at home and share experiences from school with their families. I love to be able to send books home with students over breaks in order to motivate them and give them something to look forward to during their time off from school. Having books with diverse characters can help my students from a variety of different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds feel seen and loved. Help me spread my love of books with them!
