My Project

My scholars have grown so much in their reading abilities this school year, and I cannot be more proud! Many of them have recently taken a huge liking to nonfiction biography books! We have watched multiple read alouds on YouTube on the "Ordinary People Change the World" and the "Little People Big Dreams" series' and they are OBSESSED!

We have very few of the Ordinary People Change the World Series and no Little People Big Dreams and I would love to have students be able to read these independently at their own pace!

Nonfiction books frequently include higher level vocabulary words, which also assist my scholars with comprehension and context clues. Thank you so much for your support of our next generation!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
