Kinder Readers

Help me give my students a wide variety of books that are at their reading level. Making books accessible to students is so important and it gives them the opportunity to find success in their ability to read!

My Project

This project was created to help provide leveled books for all of the kindergarten students in my building. The goal is to foster a love of reading and encourage students to read lots of books, with different topics, and expose them to more opportunities to read.

Finding books that are appropriate for kindergarten students to read independently can be challenging, so this project would help us do that.

Our students would benefit from some new titles and this would help them to build success as a reader. Thank you for considering our project!
