Guided Reading Book Library

Help me give my students guided reading books for small group work and to learn how to read proficiently.

My Project

Please help me give my students a variety of small group, guided reading books for our classroom.

For the last 5 years, I have been a math and science teacher, and next year, I will be teaching ELA and I need help to put guided reading books into the hands of my students.

As a result of teaching first grade for 5 years, and math and science for the last 5 years, I have no guided reading books in my classroom where students can read as a group and have interesting, fun things to read. Please help me put good books in my classroom to help instill the love of reading.
