Expand Your Imagination Through Books!

Help me give my students exposure to vocabulary through chapter books that can be read-aloud.

My Project

Providing my students with various chapter books to read aloud to the class will enable them to expand their vocabulary and enhance their spoken language. The books are a grade above some of my students which is a great way to increase vocabulary. These chapter books will open up the world of imagination for my students as they will have the potential to envision themselves writing stories of their own. While reading to the class, students draw or color pictures that they might use as illustrations in their own writing. My students have a love for learning, and these books will provide for them to increase their learning.
