My Project

This project will increase the motivation and the engagement of reading for students who have needs in reading and lack the motivation to read. My current project sparked their interest and I would like to continue with that spark and motivation in my students. For example, one of my students came into my class this year and everything was boring. Through a DonorsChoose project she participated in class discussions and her motivation and engagement increased. I want to keep that spark and motivation going with my students this school year with new books to engage them.
