My Students

My students do not have access to books at home. They aren't able to read when they get home from school and don't love books the way I do. I love to read and want to foster that with all of my students. I want them to discover their love for reading with these leveled readers.

I have 20 students in my class and most of the students have free lunch.

Most of the students love to read, but they do not have books at home that they are able to read or they don't have books at all. These leveled readers will encourage children to read with their families.

My Project

These books will enable my students to read books on their level, therefore increasing their reading levels and helping them become better readers and lifelong learners. My students will learn to love reading and fill their minds with fun and interesting stories that they will want to share with others.

My project is super important to my students because they do not have access to books to read on their level.

These books will be checked out to students and allow students to take them home to read as well as reading them in class. These books will change their lives!
