My Project

A quote from Orhan Pamuk, “I read a book one day, and my whole life was changed,” shows the power of reading a book. Reading month is in March and as a reading specialist, I would like to give every student, PreK thru 4th grade, a book that we can all read together. Teachers and students will share this one book throughout the month of March.

“I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book,” by JK Rowling.

We will have fun activities, guest readers, masked readers, and a parade surrounding this book.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
