My Project

The books that I am requesting will be used for small groups during reading.

I need help in getting new books into our classroom.

The books will all be used at my back round table. Students engage in stations while I pull small groups to work on various reading skills that they need. I have an extensive classroom library, but I need books that are not just free choice or for guided reading. I attended a professional development and learned that I needed to purchase decodable books to add to my classroom library.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
