My Project

My students love to read while we are in group time. I have many different grade level throughout the day all on various reading levels. These books will help challenge my students while also giving them a book on or slightly above their level to read at home.

Having a book at home to read can open up so many doors for the imagination.

Most of them talk about not having books at home but would enjoy reading by themselves or to their younger siblings. These books would give them that opportunity.
