My Project

Not all students will say they enjoy reading. However, most students WILL read if they have access to books that spark their interest. Non-fiction books can be highly engaging, especially when dealing with specific events and people that are highly interesting!

Students will readily read to learn more about history when they enjoy the books they are reading.

The I Survived series and the Who Was books are highly engaging, accessible books that appeal to a wide range of students. Whether they are learning about sharks invading US rivers or famous Americans, these books help my students experience the joy of reading.

Mr. D.
Grades 6-8
