Reading is Fun!

Help me give my students the opportunity to become excited to read material that interests them.

My Project

These books will continue to spark my students' interest in reading. Our classroom library is a place that students are becoming more excited to visit and ,they read independently! Every student book is treated with respect and they honor their reading time especially in small groups. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind connecting their personal interests.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. This project will only help my students grow in their fluency and love for reading.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
