Reading Is a Life Changing Skill

Help me give my students the extension reading books to finish out a small collection for our classroom library

My Project

This is the last set I need to complete our reading recovery instructional trade book collection. This would allow students ts to have complete access from level one to level 20.

Our students deserve the best possible outcome that we as public educators can provide for them.

In ensuring that they have interesting and appropriate books for them to read independently is so vital to their continued educational journey. We are providing a solid platform for our young learners to become lifetime lovers of all types of literacy. Thank you in advance for the support!
