Diving Deep Into Reading!

Help me give my students book sets of intriguing, engaging, challenging and interesting books that kids will love to devour during our book club time in a multi- level classroom of first and second grade highly gifted students.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Heilman's classroom raised $999

My Project

These books will enhance our thematic classroom library. Our library is a place where students enjoy taking part in a book club, reading independently, conducting research or small group instruction! All of these books support research, fiction, nonfiction and more in the classroom but most importantly they interest the students in my classroom.

My students love independent reading and ask for more books that challenge them and are "Just Right" for them.

These books will help my class grow as readers by improving their fluency, reading comprehension, and increase vocabulary and endurance for longer texts. Lastly, there are multiple levels of books giving students access to books that are at their level.
