My Project

Chapter books will help my students grow as readers by building their comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills.

These stories will not only strengthen their academic abilities but also inspire their imaginations, build their confidence, and help them see themselves in characters.

Chapter books will be a powerful tool to help my students grow as readers and thinkers.

Your support will help create readers who love learning and who believe in their own limitless possibilities. With access to a wide range of chapter books, they will be able to find stories that excite them.
