My Project

My 4th graders are all over the board in their reading skills. Some are reading long chapter books, and some are just learning how to decode single-syllable words. Independent reading is crucial for reading growth, but many of my students are unable to read the books in our classroom.

I want to provide my students with books that make them feel capable, smart, and successful.

These books will do just that for my growing readers. With pictures and more advanced topics, students will feel comfortable reading these books in front of their more "advanced" peers.

I want my students to read well! These books will give them the tools to do so. Thank you for considering my students!
