My Project

Students will be using these books to enhance our newly begun library. We have a reading program that challenges the classrooms to read the most books, with prizes at the end of each quarter. Students have really gotten into the competition part, but also have started to love reading.

With the addition of these new books, my students will have access to a diverse range of literature that caters to their individual reading levels.

They will also be able to select titles that align with their interests. The most effective way to improve reading skills is through practice, and these new additions will support my students as they develop their reading abilities. My students have already displayed remarkable enthusiasm for independent reading, and this initiative will further enrich their engagement with written material.
