It is time to update the classroom library with some new and interesting books. I believe that all children can learn to love reading if they are given the proper motivation. I hope by creating this project I will be able to supplement the classroom library with high interest books of different levels. Students are more likely to read if they can find books that are at their level and are of high interest to them. The students will be excited about using the flexible seating options while they read. The new seats will be a treat for them because they will no longer have to sit on the floor or in a regular old classroom chair. If the library is a fun area in the room, the students will be more likely to pick up a good book and read. My students will also enjoy using the literacy dice to complete some of the comprehension work that goes with the stories that they will be reading in class. Using dice to create reading games is a great way to get the students excited about learning. The materials that I am requesting for this project will have a huge impact on student success. The materials will help create life long learners because learning will be fun. Thank you for taking the time to review this project and for your support.
