Getting Into Reading!

Help me give my students great books they can learn to read and write with throughout the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Romaniello's classroom raised $637

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are amazing and wonderful kindergarten students who love to read and write. Our program, Into Reading, is full of books that they love to read. Unfortunately, we do not have hard copies of these books. They are digital. This means that we have to pull it up on the computer for them to see.

Do you remember what it was like to see a book in front of you?

You saw the whole book and watched as the pages were turned. Well, I want my students to do the same thing. They need to learn the book skills that come with turning the pages of a real book. These books (Schools Around the World, One Happy Classroom, Homes, Jabari Jumps, and more) will give them just that.
