Read to Succeed

Help me give my students more opportunities to find nonfiction and series that they will absolutely love. I have chosen series that my students continue to ask for and will keep them reading!

My Students

I have the greatest bunch of kiddos this year! We love to read and I have a large variety of readers in my class. This is my first year in 4th grade and my first year teaching language arts ( I have been teaching math and science). I want to supply these kids with fuel to grow their love of reading with stellar books! I have a few great books, but I am missing a lot of my students' favorites.

I want this to be the year that challenges my avid readers, creates new life long readers, and helps my lower readers gain confidence.

My students are itching with the desire to take my books home and getting their reading on. Please help me make a simple class library a great one!

My Project

In this project I am looking for a few series I am missing in my library. These include: Dork Diaries, Origami Yoda, I Survived, and Who Would Win.

My students love a good series!

Once they find one book they love they just want more and more! This is my first year teaching language arts so my library could use some support!

This project provides books for categories that my students have a harder time finishing in their 40 book challenge. The I survive series helps with their historical fiction and The Who Would Win series helps with their nonfiction section.
