My Project

Help me update my classroom library by giving my students their favorite books. It will provide them with the ability to discover different genres of books.

Students like to go to the back carpet and curl up with a good book!

They'll be so excited to see these newly added additions. I implement a reading incentive program in my classroom. These books will help entice students with our reading incentive program. They are sure to become active readers.

Research shows that students who read regularly are more likely to be better writers as well as improve their vocabulary. It also helps their social-emotional development as well by being able to escape to other worlds and connect to characters. Having books of high interest to the students will help motivate them.
