My Project
I’m not sure who gets more excited. Me watching a child discover the love of books, or the student who discovers the magic of getting lost in a story. The more diversity and options that we have to encourage our students to read, the better our chance to foster and grow their desire to learn. And having an area designated to reading and designed to draw children into the comfort and joy associated with reading, will encourage their exploration of books. Nothing is better than seeing that ‘aha’ moment when a child finds that magic, and watching the joy they get while losing themselves in a story
