My Project

The 24-25 school year is starting out with a bang! My team of teachers met with our students to find out what type of books and topics they really enjoy. All of the books added to this project are all based on the interest of our students!

We've learned that reading is more enjoyable when you're reading about something you like!

Our hopes are that our students will be able to walk into our classroom and pick out books that they will enjoy but will also help them enhance their reading skills. A lot of the students we work with have challenges with reading and it's difficult to get them to buy into reading for fun. Please help us help our students to get lost in a good book!
