My Project

Reading is truly one of my favorite things to do! Inspiring my students to read and giving them endless books to choose from is a major goal of mine. Some of my students come in and only like reading a certain genre or maybe even a certain length! With this project, I am wanting to add mystery novels that we can discuss and track as they read. The students will continuously make predictions on what they think will happen next!

Mystery novels are known to capture the reader and make them think of more possibilities than the typical happy endings!

Books can take you on all of the adventures without having to move from the comfort of your seat! I look forward to watching them grow their love of reading and watching our bookshelf evolve to their needs!
