My Project

My students love to read — especially when they find a book series that really sticks with them. There's something magical about diving into a world and getting to stay there book after book. That’s why I want to build a classroom library filled with high-interest book series that will hook my students and keep them reading all year long.

In our classroom, we celebrate reading as a journey, and for many students, that journey takes off when they discover a book series they love.

Whether it’s fantasy, mystery, graphic novels, or realistic fiction, series books help readers build confidence, develop reading stamina, and form deep connections with characters and themes.
