My students are in the beginning stages of reading and love to read good books. I would like for them to have books where characters look like them. These easy to read titles will inspire my students as well as be easy for them to read.
When children see characters who represent them they get excited and want to read more.
This collection of books have characters that look like the students I serve. The Princess Truly series is a great start for my students to practice their reading skills and find the joy in reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
