My Project

We all remember a great book that brings us back to our childhood. That book inspired us to pick up another, and another, and soon, we have put reading into our daily lives!

I want to inspire my students to read novels, fantasy, mystery, realistic, and historical stories that will take them to other places, make them think deeply, and make connections to people and situations that they are unfamiliar with.

My students are thirsty for adventure and need that extra push to find novels that inspire them to keep reading. I want them to find a book that is impossible to put down. And, once a series is started, that is just what will happen!
