Children choose books that align with their interests and skill levels, often selecting from a diverse collection that includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and cultural stories. Reading happens in a variety of ways—individually, in pairs, or small groups—allowing students to share their discoveries or dive deeply into personal exploration. We also integrate reading into cross-disciplinary lessons, where books complement subjects like science, geography, and history.\r\n\r\nSeveral students are especially enjoying the new books. For instance, Pearl has been captivated by books about animals and has been excitedly sharing facts with her peers, sparking group discussions. Silas has shown a preference for adventure stories, often rereading sections aloud to himself to capture the excitement of the narrative. These moments highlight how the new books not only enhance individual engagement but also foster a sense of curiosity and collaboration among the students.","fullyFundedDate":1729722124804,"projectUrl":"project/books-empowering-young-readers/8470079/","projectTitle":"Books, Empowering Young Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. M.
