Growing Literacy With Books
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sasaoka-Tam's classroom raised $745
This project is fully funded
My Project
Help give my students access to books that spark their love for reading! During the COVID-19 pandemic my students who were leaning at home didn't have access to books they could hold, manipulate, and explore. Books are a great way to build vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension. They can transport my students to different times and places from the comfort of our classroom.
Books with engaging story lines and beautiful illustrations will support student's engagement and provide a fun context for language learning. These amazing stories will ignite my student's joy for reading. As they go through school their love for reading will also spark their love and interest for learning.
This classroom project was brought to life by Hawai'i State Department of Education.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
