Books to Read and Books to Write

Help me give my students books they can read independently and books they can use to tell their own stories.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Silver's classroom raised $740

My Project

Students in kindergarten, first and second grade will use the Bob books to practice reading in school and at home. The blank books are for students to write, design, and illustrate their own stories — and to share them with members of the school community.

This project will help readers booster enthusiasm for the written word, and create their own titles, which will be available to borrow in the school library.

Our students are enthusiastic, curious, hard-working and extremely creative. These books will bolster their skills and express their ideas.
