The majority of my students are reading at a second grade level and the books in this project are all their current reading level. In the current library, there are not enough books at their reading level to give every child a book at their level or to read new books. My students love to independently read on the carpet and read out loud to numerous stuffed animals as their audience. These students are underfunded, but their imaginations are overflowing. The students love escaping into different time periods, and embarking on adventures with magical creatures or learning about strong, positive personality traits. In guided reading, small groups read with me at a pull out table and the stools provide a comfortable seating area for them to build up their reading confidence and read out loud to one another.
