My Project
My project is aimed at FOSTERING A LOVE FOR READING by providing resources that allow students to improve reading fluency and comprehension skills in a low-pressure setting. The students themselves mostly choose the book titles in hopes of piquing their interest to pick up a book and read.
Adding headphones and comfortable seating will help facilitate immersive reading and listening experiences.
It can also help minimize distractions and create a focused reading environment that caters to individual learning needs. Our students love to sit on the floor!
Each student is special and has unique learning styles, preferences, and interests that enrich the classroom environment. They demonstrate resilience and determination in overcoming challenges, making them inspiring individuals. Their diverse backgrounds and experiences provide valuable perspectives that can enhance classroom discussions and interactions.
My hope is to enhance students' enjoyment of reading and develop a lifelong love for literature.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
