My Project

Help me hook our students into reading! What better way to begin than with a fantasy series? The fantasy genre is one that ignites imagination and nurtures creativity which helps instill a lifelong love of reading.

Fantasy literature transports young minds to captivating realms filled with magic, mythical creatures, and extraordinary adventures, providing an escape from the routine of everyday life.

These imaginative journeys not only entertain but also stimulate cognitive development by encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Fantasy books often feature relatable characters facing moral dilemmas and challenges, offering valuable lessons in empathy and resilience. We could all use a little escape into fantasy!
