My Project

Promoting literacy in the classroom will increase student motivation, engagement and achievement. The books I have requested will help my students gain valuable knowledge about the real world and the challenges of the 21st century. Having access to these books, my students will be able to develop their reading and writing skills that will set them in a path to academic success.

A classroom library will provide all my students with the opportunity to choose reading topics that are relevant, engaging, and meaningful to them.

Through consistent exposure to reading materials, my students will become critical thinkers and responsible and productive citizens.
