My Project

Students need to read a variety of stories from authors of different backgrounds. By helping to purchase a variety of book sets, students will have access to different stories and types of writing. Students will read, examine, analyze, and discuss the books with each other.

Having book sets at our disposal, allow me to support my students' learning needs with high quality literature.

It also puts books directly into the hands of children.

Students who are gifted often read voraciously, and comprehend at high levels. This project will ensure that they have current literature that will challenge and engage their minds.
