My Project

Opening up young minds to the world of literacy early on is so important to develop their understanding of the world as well as their own character.

I would like to curate a love of reading by offering them a wide range of choices.

I have added subjects I know my students are interested in our directly affect them! The books that are listed here will provide many hours of reading for our first graders and allow for them to decide what they are passionate about! Thank you for helping me achieve this goal!
