My Project

These books will make a difference in my students learning because it’ll make them excited to read. As a kindergarten student, this is the starting point where they are just beginning to learn how to read words. These books will allow my students to rhyme, sound out words, retell, and identify different parts of the story. My goal is to have a variety of different books that I know my students love.

My classroom library is currently very small, my goal is to expand my books I have available for my students.

My students love being read stories and my having a variety, these books will be so special for them!
