Reading is a basic and essential life skill that is made extremely important to build a life long learner. When it comes to reading, one of the best ways to learn and improve is through exposure to many, many books. My goal is to build a huge classroom library of high quality literature, including the Piggie and Gerald series and Clifford books, in order to help my student learn to read, and foster a lifelong love of reading. By building these important skills and improving their reading abilities now, it will be a launching point for them to insure a successful future as they move forward in school and eventually into the working world as productive adults. Through the use of an exciting and welcoming classroom library right at their fingertips every day, the sky is the limit for my students!
