We have talked about the life skills of being funny, hopeful, patient, organized, confidence, how to hand stress. How to handle big emotions impulse control, being lonely, sadness, anger, grumpy, lazy, nervousness, jealousy, and frustration.

The books provided have strengthened reading fluency, increased vocabulary development, and fostered a greater love for reading among both my current students and younger emergent readers.\r\n\r\nStudents were able to choose books that interested them and practice reading with expression and accuracy. Once they felt confident reading independently, we partnered with younger classes to share their books and read aloud to them. This experience allowed students to build confidence while serving as positive reading role models.\r\n\r\nBecause the books reflected students' interests, they remained highly engaged while also expanding their vocabulary and comprehension skills. It was truly rewarding to see the excitement and enthusiasm from the emergent readers, who were deeply invested in the stories being shared.
