My Project

Leveled books are needed to create a classroom library for my new first grade classroom. Students will have the opportunity to choose books of their interest and will spend time each day reading independently. We are in need of hundreds of books so that students can get the daily practice reading real books. The more books, the more practice, the better reader they become.

Your donation will help create a robust classroom library with books that are accessible to beginning readers.

Students will learn how to choose books of interest and spend time each day reading independently.
