My Project

Let’s Engage Readers!

This is a three-part book project.

This year my class is in LOVE with sports. I want to enhance my classroom library to fit their needs and get high-interest books in their hands. I have a reader who’s not super engaged in reading. The lower-level comic books are the right ticket to get him hooked! We read a Judy Moody book and all the boys wanted the Stink books too!

Tailoring my library the interest of the kids will get books in their hands and imaginations started!
