My Project

As a teacher, I have to instill in the young minds of my students that reading is fun and the benefits that they can get from reading. However, in order to achieve this goal, I have to give them support like giving them comfortable and conducive milieu for reading. In fact. According to Scholastic Editors (2021), if students are given a comfortable environment to read, they become more engaged and focused in what they are reading and help them think critically, too. More importantly, they will become stronger and better readers in the process.

Through these materials that I am requesting, I believe that these will make a difference in helping my students to become strong and better readers.
