My Project

Our students love to read biographies, they expand their reading skills when reading about familiar names and events. My project will open up biographies to our youngest readers with the "itty bitty bio" series. Our students enjoy the book series "Who was", "Who is", and "What is/was" collection, added to my project are the latest and greatest to reach across all reading levels. Biographies are the most requested books by all ages, looking forward to exposing 1st and 2nd graders to materials they can read and enjoy!
