My project is completely chapter and grade level books to help inspire my students to love reading and push to above grade level through engaging texts. There is so sadly a lack of non-curriculum reading texts for my students to pick from. I want to create a classroom library that inspires them to want to pick up a new book and read! I have recently switched grades levels and have found my self with many lower level reading books. I was able to give a lot of my library to new kindergarten teachers but have found myself at a loss of intermediate grade level books. I could greatly use your help in replenishing an on and above level library!
