My Project

Reading books is a fundamental skill that benefits students in countless ways. It is essential for their academic success, as it enhances their comprehension, vocabulary, and writing abilities. By exposing themselves to various genres and styles of writing, students can develop a strong foundation for critical thinking and analysis. Reading also helps them to understand different perspectives and cultures, fostering empathy and tolerance.

By immersing themselves in diverse narratives, students can explore different possibilities and imagine themselves in various roles and circumstances.

This exposure to different worlds can help them develop a broader perspective and a more open mind, allowing them to consider paths they may not have previously considered.

Furthermore, reading can inspire students to set goals and aspirations. As they encounter characters who overcome challenges, achieve great things, or simply live fulfilling lives, students may be motivated to strive for their own personal and professional goals. Books can provide them with the courage and determination to pursue their dreams, even in the face of adversity.

We would also like to create individual book marks, giving the students to enjoy book reading more.

We are also asking for lysol to spray and sanitize the reading area. This is by the library corner where they can sit comfortably on the floor to read.

Students need to read more books and the lack of books on my shelf is not giving them many choices. By having more books with many different types of genre students will be able to finds their love for books!
