Let's Get Lit for Literacy

Help me give my students access to various books, these books are high interest and help me create a love of literacy with my students.

My Project

These books will continue to engage my students in rich and diverse texts during their read alouds, English Language Arts lessons, First Chapter Fridays, and independent reading. The books placed in my library are specifically chosen with my students in mind.

The classroom library is a place where students have choice and can foster a joy of reading.

The books from this project will allow my students even more freedom. The list includes graphic novels, picture books, and high interest texts with low readability level. Books like these are essential for students.
