My Project

The students in my class love to get cozy and read. I am hoping to expose them to more types of books and also get students who aren't engaged in reading yet, excited about it!

I've chosen books from different genres: realistic fiction, mythology, nonfiction, etc.

Exposing kids to all of these types of stories sets them up for success! I have also picked chapter books that are at all reading levels.

We have a wide range of reading levels in class! Students who are reading at lower levels, still want the feeling of accomplishment of finishing a chapter book. When they are able to pick out a chapter book that they feel confident reading, it makes a HUGE difference in their engagement and excitement with reading.

These additions to our classroom library would make a massive impact on my students' reading time and the development of their life-long love of reading.
