Help me give my students powerful reading experiences through the use of big books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vaughan's classroom raised $310

My Project

For some students entering my classroom, they are having their first real encounters with books. For those students especially, it is important to foster a love of books and reading within them.

By purchasing class favorite books, students are able to experience engaging students to help foster a love of reading.

These books are all big books, which my students all love! There is something extra engaging about having such a large book for students to be able to share in during reading time that help makes reading time come alive.
