More Read Alouds!

Help me give my students more read aloud books that will help spark their interest!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lewis's classroom raised $301

My Project

We have a new reading curriculum and love it! But.... we would like to have a few more read aloud books that go with the themes. My kids LOVE read aloud time, it's the best part of our day! The students are so interested in the pictures and words. They become mesmerized with the stories.

These new read aloud books will help open the reading units and "hook" the students into learning more about the theme.

The books will also allow the students an opportunity to read it themselves, as one copy will be for me and one for the class to use.
