My Project

Reading is important because it develops our thoughts, gives us endless knowledge and lessons while keeping our minds active. One key benefit of reading is the development of critical thinking skills.

Reading books increases your knowledge, enhances your inventiveness, builds your vocabulary and generally makes you smarter.

Books improve vocabulary, the more you read the book, the faster your vocabulary will expand. Reading books can enhance the imagination and creativity of student's and increases positive thinking.

I am asking for magnetic bookshelves to display our weekly reading books for the students to reference back to during the day. The comprehension workbook is going to be used for review with the skills I have already taught.
