Loving our Library with Leveled Readers

Help me give my students leveled books to promote reading fluency and comprehension.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rugg's classroom raised $189

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a dedicated teacher, I am committed to fostering a love for reading in my students. I believe that all children deserve access to books that cater to their individual reading levels and interests. This project seeks to enhance our classroom library by acquiring a variety of leveled readers that will support my diverse group of learners.

In my classroom, I have a wide range of reading abilities among my students.

Limited access to appropriate reading materials can hinder their growth and enthusiasm for reading. By adding a selection of leveled readers, I can ensure that every child finds books that are both engaging and accessible, helping to build their confidence and skill.

1. Provide a range of leveled readers that cater to different reading abilities in my classroom.

2. Foster a love for reading by allowing each student to discover books that interest them at their appropriate reading level.

3. Improve students' reading skills through consistent practice with accessible texts.
