My Project

Ah, the tangible tools of creation! Ink cartridges and card stock are the essential ingredients for transforming your 10th graders' imaginative stories into captivating physical books for their 3rd-grade audience. Vibrant ink will bring their illustrations to life, making characters and scenes pop off the page and immediately grab a young reader's attention. Sturdy card stock provides a durable and tactile experience, making the books feel substantial and special in little hands.

These tangible elements empower your students to not just write, but to deliver a complete, professionally presented product.

Holding a beautifully printed and bound book, crafted by older students, can be incredibly inspiring for a 3rd grader, fostering a sense of wonder and a desire to explore the stories within. The care and effort evident in the physical book

will subtly communicate the joy and value of reading.
