Reading is the foundation for all other areas of education. Instilling a love of reading in children has always been a true passion of mine. Children choosing and keeping books of their own is a great beginning! They will have a variety of books to choose from at many different reading levels and areas of interest. Students will have the opportunity to read these books at home with their families. Thus will help improve reading fluency and comprehension skills as we go through the year. Hopefully, we will have enough books for students to get several books.
