Help me give my students books and writing journals to strengthen their literacy development through storytelling.

My Project
My students will be starting kindergarten this year, and for many of them it's their first time in school ever! My students are from a low income neighborhood, and for some it will be their first time holding and reading a physical book. I want to foster their love for stories from the very beginning. They will be able to read wonderful stories from characters who look just like them while gaining some social-emotional development. They will also be able to foster their curiosity into print with the writing journals. I am looking forward to seeing all they convey through literacy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
