My Project

My students have improved so much with their reading skills from the beginning of the school year. Fluency, comprehension, and the ability to use context clues to enhance their understanding of what they are reading have improved greatly.

They truly love to spend time in the reading corner reading books that have been provided for them.

The way they get so excited when we get new books is such a wonderful thing to see.

I love how dedicated they have become to their reading time. The books that will be provided in this project are really going to help them expand their reading skills even more!
