Growing Our Reading Minds

Help me give my students a Book Tree to create a fun and inviting learning environment and reading space, provide easy access to books, and encourage exploration of books.

San Diego, CA Grades PreK-2

My Project

UTK is a wonderful world of exploration, learning, and fun. The Space-Saver Book Tree will help us create an inviting, warm, and fun reading area for our students to choose their own reading adventure. The Book Tree displays books with their front covers facing out so students can easily see the different choices. The height of the books shelf is appropriate for this age group and makes the books easily accessible.

This Book Tree will encourage our growing minds and imaginations to grow through the exploration of books we love.
