My Project

We absolutely love a good read aloud in my class. Read alouds are so much fun and over the years, I've come to learn which the children consistently love best.

I want to give my students a copy of each our favorite David Shannon books along with a few other class favorites!

After reading the books in class with partners or parents volunteers, I want my students to be able to take their books home to read to their families and pets. I have consistently heard from parents that my students love to read their David books before bed, and many of my students who began the school year nonverbal would imitate the David character.

Please help me give my students these fun and engaging read aloud to build their language skills and spark their love for reading!
