My Students

My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over 50% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in Queens. Students speak a multitude of languages including English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Arabic.

My Project

These beginner reading books will help students gain the confidence they need to become lifelong readers. Nothing is better than being able to hold a book in your hands and read. I will have 25 students in a class, my students will have various interests and reading levels.

These books will allow my students to find "just right books" on topics they are interested in.

Being able to physically hold a book in their hands and read is amazing. Being able to take a book home and read it with their guardians is priceless!
