Help me give my students access to fun reading games that they can take home with them!

My Project

The materials in this project will help us to create a literacy game lending library. We will create an organized system using the book bags, labels, dot stickers, and lamination pouches. Students will be able to borrow book bags filled with games and laminated descriptions of activities so that they can work on their reading skills at home with fun, hands-on activities.

Through access to a literacy lending library, students will be able to bring fun literacy games home.

These activities will help promote foundational reading skills for our students in grades Pre-K through 5. The activities will also be a meaningful opportunity for students to share their learning with their families at home!
