My Project

I would love to have a new way to focus on reading with my special needs students! We would like to provide a guided classroom novel study as well as some accessible books for our students who require oversized reading materials.

Reading opens doors to worlds of information and adventure!

Teaching children how all of the parts of a story come together helps to foster comprehension. When students understand a story, they can find what they love about it!

Please help me encourage our students to love reading with this classroom set of novels.
