This is a new classroom and I will be starting with very little in my library. The purpose of this project is to increase the variety of books in our personal classroom library. The students are expected to read independently each day. Having the ability to choose which books they are able to read drastically increases their interest! A leveled library will help me put books in the hands of my students that they will be able to read. This will help them build their literacy skills, fluency, and enhance their love of reading. We need more choices of books so they can read what they love and make their learning even more powerful.
