The Power of a Great Classroom Library
Funded Sep 16, 2021
My students' love for reading has exploded over the past few months thanks to their new classroom library! They are constantly asking to refill their "book baggies" to find a new favorite book.
Not only have they fallen more in love with reading and learning, but they are moving up reading levels faster than I expected. They also love using their books as "mentor texts" to get ideas from authors when they are writing.
This is all thanks to YOU and your generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you X a million!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Corsaro

Students who have access to great books become students who love reading. Teaching kids to read is easier when they have access to engaging books. I want to introduce my students to as many authors and titles as possible. They need books that are high interest, rich in vocabulary, and engaging. Not only does this develop their love for reading but sparks their interest in writing. Young readers devour books quickly which means they need LOTS of books! During a reading workshop a 1st grader might go through 3-5 books! That means our classroom library needs to be fully stocked to keep my students' interest and develop a love for reading.
