My Project

This is the final phase in the Rooted in Reading project. The first phase purchased the materials and teacher guide for the program. The second phase purchased the books for the first semester.

The final phase will help purchase the picture books that accompany the weekly language arts lessons for the second semester.

These books are the focus of the weekly lessons and all activities are created to pair with the picture book. Utilizing these books will improve my students' reading and comprehension skills.

Please help our class continue to become great readers by supporting us and allowing us to receive the picture books needed for this program. We appreciate your support!
