My Project

Growing my classroom library will take time. I would love to have have a variety of books for students to choose from that will make reading exciting for them. I am trying to grow my classroom library by providing different types of books that will spark interest in my students to keep them motivated to read. I have many students who struggle to read, so providing them with a diverse group of books will help them to better comprehend and follow what they are reading. I know adding these books to my library will continue to help my students grow in their love for reading.
