Cozy Reading Buddies

Help me give my students new exciting reading buddies from their favorite books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mahon's classroom raised $161

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are looking for donations to help bring our classroom library to life! Our students love to read and learn. One way we like to practice our fluency and reading skills is by reading out loud to reading buddies. When we read fluently, our students can focus more on the stories than sounding out the words.

It would be so fun for my students to be able to read their favorite books to their favorite characters.

These new reading buddies will give our kindergarteners the opportunity to practice their new reading skills by engaging them and bringing their books to life! Help us read to Pete the Cat, the Hungry Caterpillar, the Pigeon and more!
