My Project
Reading is the foundation of education, and I believe that every student deserves a space where they can escape into the world of books and develop a lifelong love for reading. As I set up my new classroom, I’m eager to create a welcoming and engaging reading corner that will be a place for students to explore new stories, expand their imaginations, and develop critical literacy skills.
This project is all about providing my students with a diverse selection of books that will cater to different reading levels, interests, and backgrounds.
By stocking the reading corner with high-quality, captivating books, I hope to inspire my students to read more, learn more, and grow into confident, passionate readers.
A well-stocked and inviting reading corner can make all the difference in sparking a child’s love for reading. Many of my students come from backgrounds where access to books is limited, and this project is an opportunity to provide them with the chance to explore the world through literature. Whether it's an adventure story, a heartwarming tale, or an informational book that sparks curiosity, I want every student to have the opportunity to find something they love. The more they read, the more their vocabulary grows, their confidence builds, and their world expands.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
