My Students

"Can we read a big book?" My students love big books and I love reading them. But we don't have nearly enough.

My students are the best.

They are bright, inquisitive, hilarious, smart, and LOVE to read. Our school is in a semi-urban area just outside of our downtown. My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and bring with them a wide variety of experiences. Some have been in school before, but many have not. I love exposing them to many types of books and watching their love of reading blossom. Big books are a wonderful way to promote that love of reading and learning.

My Project

I am requesting 10 big books (2 different sets) with well-known titles to add to our classroom library. With these big books, more students will be able to experience each book at a time. Students will also be able to practice important literary skills such as sight words, tracking and punctuation. These are books that many students are familiar with and love reading. The familiarity allows my students to practice their reading skills in a low-risk setting and the big book format allows them to do this together.

Your donation will help us tremendously!

These materials will enhance my students' love of reading and learning. They already love looking at regular size picture books, and I know they will love even more looking and exploring big books.
