They checked the new additions out and were so excited. They were even more excited to learn that they were able to check out more than one book. This particular series was all checked out in one morning. \r\n\r\nIt's hard to find the words that describe what it's like to see my students excited about the books that are available to them.

Our students have not only improved their literacy skills but have also enhanced their comprehension, critical thinking, and imagination.
