My Project

Our classroom library currently contains books that are torn and repaired, discolored, and overused. With a new leveled reading library, our library will be more appealing to students and they would be able to choose books at their reading level.

These books will help to meet the student’s reading needs and will foster the love of reading for all learners in our classroom.

This project aims to create an instructionally leveled and organized way for students to choose appropriately leveled fiction and non-fiction books using the Fountas & Pinnell book leveling system.
