The Gift of Reading

Help me give my students read aloud books related to our weekly units that align with our common core curriculum!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Malave's classroom raised $527

My Project

These read aloud books align with the McGraw Hill, 1st grade, weekly units. In my classroom, I do read alouds multiple times a day! Last school year, we had to listen to audio books, because I did not have hard copies of books. These read alouds would be supplemental material on top of our common core curriculum. I would love for our read alouds to relate to the weekly topic in our curriculum! These books would be utilized daily and for many years to come!

Help me give my students relatable read aloud books!
