My Project

I’d love to have dozens of books on hand for students to grab at any time. Books of every level and variety. Students are struggling to read and need exciting books to entice them. When a student is a good reader it opens a gateway to every other subject.

Many students stay after school in my room and I am delighted to offer them books of their choosing to keep reading.

The books may be used as rewards or gifts as well. I hope to inspire a generation of lifelong learners and remind them that reading is a terrific hobby!
