My Project

Many of my students have not had the opportunity to read classic childhood books. Some of my students still struggle to read grade level materials. Others enjoy a break from the large words and going back to an illustrated world

Picture books help students find a love for reading and imagination.

Many students struggle to picture words in their mind. When they have the opportunity to read a sentence and then see a picture of the sentences, they start building foundations to be able to visualize themselves.

I want to have a book that any student can enjoy, no matter their age or reading level.

Grades 3-5
