"Reading is a fundamental skill that defines the academic successor failure of students." As noted by Barbara Foorman from the University of Texas, Houston Medical School. Help me support my students in becoming the best readers and writers that they can be! My goal is help provide my students the opportunity to engage with literacy in their everyday lives. This project will offer the learners in my classroom with the opportunity to engage in reading and writing in an authentic, purposeful, and intensive way. As a first year teacher, it can be difficult and expensive to gather all of the materials needed to create an amazing environment. Having these books, and the tools to help my students read, write, and analyze literature would support our classroom tremendously.
