My Project

With a personal library at their disposal, students are empowered to choose books that spark their curiosity and imagination. This autonomy fosters a love for reading and encourages students to engage in independent reading, which is crucial for developing lifelong reading habits. The engaging and varied content in the "Literary Legends Library" helps to maintain students' interest in reading. When students enjoy the books they read, they are more motivated to read regularly, which further supports their literacy growth.

This library will provide a rich and dynamic reading environment that supports students' reading development.

By offering a range of genres and leveled books, it enhances reading fluency, comprehension, and enjoyment, ultimately fostering a lifelong passion for reading.
