My Project

My students love reading! As they grow as readers, they need more books to keep them interested during independent reading time.

This set of 125 books will help keep them highly engaged and give them a wide variety of books to choose from.

My goal is for students to be able to have 8-10 books in their book bag which they can use to practice reading independently. This will help them foster a great love for reading which they can carry on with them for the rest of their lives. 1st and 2nd grade is a time where students really take off in reading.
