Reading to Widen Horizon

Help me give my students. They are in need of more reading materials so that they can widen their imaginations. Reading can also lead to students write with proper grammar and spelling.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Britney's classroom raised $752

My Project

These are students who were not in school due to COVID which made them have less access to books. The students need to read more not only for class but to make sure they can get a taste of what literature can do for them. There are not many books in the classroom library which is giving the students less chances to read. Reading not only improves imaginations but also they will be able to improve grammar and spelling. Many students just depend on the computer to auto correct their writing which is not part of the real world.

Students need to be able to read and write in correct grammar and the perfect way to do that is by reading.

We do not have a speaker for this class which makes learning a little difficult when we are watching an educational video. 2 weeks ago we were watching a background knowledge videos and the students were not able to hear well so we had to turn on the subtitles which they also could not see very clearly. This is a big problem in a classroom when we need to make sure the students will be able to learn and I will be able to teach to the best of my ability.

The books and speakers will help the students to have a better learning environment. I will be able to teach better and the students will have chances to learn visually and by listening.
