My Project

I would like to give my students a chance to enjoy reading books that they can handle easily. Since my students are special needs children . They can even use their own imagination to retell a story in their own words, which would improve their language and emotions. Reading also helps to develop brain and their imagination to. Hopefully with increasing my library it will be able to give children a feeling of love towards reading.

My children will be able to draw a picture about the book they were looking at.
