My Project
Students in my school have very few books at home. They need books in their hands in order to increase their literacy skills. The Swimming, Pigeon, Darla, Be You and Dreaming Up are well-loved books that students will enjoy. I am Me, Color Monster, Not a Stick and I am Enough are great books. Students will be encouraged to read the book they know so well and retell the story with a beginning, middle and end.
Please help get books into the homes of students so they can increase their literacy skills!
Let's work together and bring this project to life!
