My Project

The best way to teach important skills to young children is through stories. Children relate to illustrations and simple text read to them by an adult. My goals are to use these books to improve my math, science, literacy, and social-emotional learning lessons by using these high-quality books as an anchor- a way to build and elicit background knowledge about the learning topic.

High-quality books designed for young children make a world of difference when introducing or reinforcing any learning topic.

Beyond that, the magic of being read to by a caring adult is one of the most valuable childhood experiences one can have. By donating these books to our classroom, you can help ensure our students have endless magical experiences this year in Pre-K. Thank you!
