My Students
My students are cooperative and willing to engage in discussion about concepts they are learning. They are excited about learning . Everyday they come to school, they have something interesting to share and are eager to know what will be taught.
My students love to visit the library.
I feel so enthused when we talk about books that we reading or passages that we read in class. They light up my day; I want to continue to inspire them to read and see books as their next of kin.
My Project
Reading is a part of students' daily lives. All students have the potential to excel; many times their passion is not harnessed, and that passion dies. Reading allows students to discover their passion. It is by reading that students will be exposed to the wider world; it is by reading that students will learn ways to solve problems. If students develop a passion for reading, their lives will be transformed; they will start improving in their academics and also learn life lessons that will help them to function in the world.
Students will have access to materials that will excite their passion for reading, and give them the confidence to share in discussion.
When this confidence is gained, students will feel much more comfortable to do assessments in reading which will translate in improved grades.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
