My Project

I teach Reading Support classes for students who are reading below grade level. I love my striving readers, and how hard they work on their reading skills and strategies.

I want to offer my students time to choose and explore books that they are interested in, so they can practice their reading skills in an authentic way.

This library will allow students to choose books based on their interests, and discover the joy of reading. I hope that my students will leave my classroom with a set of strong reading skills and a love of books.
