My Project

I would love to provide some quality books in my school library written by these minority/underrepresented authors. I would also like to use fun bookmarks to encourage students to read their books. Hopefully, by offering books that students can relate to and see themselves in, they will be more likely to read the books.

The goal is to foster a love of reading by reflecting my student population in the books available to them.

My students are amazing. They continue to work on their reading skills and are determined readers.
