This special reading time fosters independence and a love for reading, and the new books have made it even more magical.\r\n\r\nWith these texts, we've been able to explore a variety of reading skills—like making inferences, understanding character development, and comparing themes across genres. Whether it's a student diving into a fantasy adventure or laughing through a humorous graphic novel, they're learning to think critically, make connections, and most importantly, enjoy reading.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has brought joy, growth, and a true love of books into our classroom.
