My Project

Through my project, my students will be able to have books that they will enjoy reading in the classroom and at home. They will enhance their reading ability because books will now be available to them nightly at their homes. With these high-interested books such as, "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Wings of Fire", the students will be able to analyze, share, and discuss their reading experience with their friends and families. They will empower and nurture the passion for reading in my young students. I hope that through this unique project, my young students can continue the path of discovering and enjoying reading through text and pictures.

By providing these awesome fantasy books, I can provide the resources for my students that will enable them to read at home and at school.

I know that these books will motivate them to learn new vocabulary, apply comprehension skills, and gain confidence as readers!
