My Project

Our class has been working on getting hooked by books. After exploring online, these are some series students are interested in having or having more of in our classroom!

It is known that when students have an interest in the text they are more willing and able to read for extended period of time.

Growing our collection will help students sustain independent reading as well as introduce them to new worlds, words and knowledge they may never encounter otherwise. These books may also help students develop new hobbies and interests outside of mindless tech scrolling!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
