My Project

My Kindergarten students absolutely love the Express Readers. The colorful illustrations, accompanied by humorous illustrations, make for a great reading series- especially for beginning readers. Right now, I have two sets of each level, and having two more sets would allow for small group work. It would also give me the ability to send books home so students can show families what they are learning and how they can read. Each and every student is excited to read, regardless of skill set, and I want to continue to foster a love of reading and learning in all of my students.
