Funded May 14, 2019My students are so excited about new books in the classroom library that are diverse reads and grade level applicable. I am so happy that I can offer them stories of characters that offer relatable topics about pets, school and friendships. Before I was limited in the number of chapter books because I had previously taught younger grade levels. Now I can offer a wider selection that allows students to sample various series that they might not have encountered previously. Chapter book series by popular authors will help them transition as readers by hooking their interests. I feel so fortunate to have the luxury of offering a print rich environment for my students within the classroom. We have developed a check out system that they are upholding responsibly. This is my first year teaching fourth grade and I have witnessed the steady progression of my student's reading interests. More importantly, they have increased their stamina for reading.”
