My Project

As a teacher, I want my students to experience a wide range of genres in literature and find a love for reading. Having a fully-stocked classroom library will enable them to choose books of high interest and will help them grow as both readers and learners. Sparking a life-long love of reading is a passion of mine and helping children find books they love is a favorite part of my job.

Everyone is a reader… Some just haven’t found the right book yet.

I want to make all students in my class this year and have no trouble finding the right books for many years to come. Our library has over 25 ‘Book Recommendation Menus’ that allow children to find books similar to others they may have read. This helps them to choose books they may like.

We also have a small nonfiction section that could use a little more love. Students love reading about real people and events.

Thank you for donating to my project and promoting literacy in our young students. A book is a gift you can open again and again!
