My Project

We need books and reading buddies in our classroom library center to help us become successful and enthusiastic readers. These books will be used during whole group reading, small group reading and independent reading time. These books will be an integral part of our classroom library, that we choose during center time. Books and reading buddies will help us become excited about reading as we read text at our instructional skills level and beyond. We desperately need books to help provide us with differentiated fiction books to help meet our various student needs and to develop a love for reading.
