Reading Rocks-Encouraging Young Readers

Help me give my students fun and engaging books in our classroom library!

My Project

I would like to offer my students more books in our classroom library. Our reading block consists of centers, whole group and small group instruction, and partner work. These organizational tools will help groups run smoothly, stay organized, and offer some new books to read during free reading time.

Students need fun books.

The books I have chosen here were requested by more than one student this year. I was thrilled to find the sets on here they were looking for. By providing a wide variety of text, each student can find something they are interested in reading about.

Thank you for your consideration!
