My Project

My students love my classroom library! My first graders have become very good readers. I wish to add a wider variety of chapters books that they are interested in and excited to read!

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own level.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences.
