Build a Lifelong Joy of Reading for Every Reader!
FULLY FUNDED! Mx. Gest's classroom raised $482
This project is fully funded
My Project
Thank you for reading about my project! I am a 7th grade social studies teacher, with students of varied reading levels in my classes.
The specific book list I have created will make a difference to my students who are still at a 2nd-3rd grade reading level, as well as students who speak more than one language in the home. It is vital in all class settings that scholars continue to build confidence in reading, and reading comprehension.
My goal for this project is to assure all students have access to building a joy and love for reading.
This skill will allow students to navigate the world with sharp critical thinking skills. This project will help students become stronger thinkers, dreamers, and do-ers.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
