This project will help us fill our classroom library, which students will use daily during Readers Workshop. After every mini-lesson, students are sent off to practice newly taught reading skills with books at their own levels. Students need to read plenty of appropriately leveled books every day. Having a well-stocked classroom library will provide them with ample opportunities to practice reading books at their instructional levels. My students are bilingual and still learning English; having these appealing books to read, and plenty of them, will help increase their vocabulary and fluency. Most importantly, my students will continue to grow their love of reading!
