My Project

It is my passion to ignite the love of reading into my students. Read aloud time is always our favorite time of the day. I have created this project to expand my classroom library for my upcoming students. The range of topics and reading levels will be a great addition to my classroom library especially to my ESL and ELL learners.

This project will allow my students to have access to diverse books that captures their interest and helps motivate them to continue their love of reading.

Students need to enjoy what they are reading in order to create a deeper understanding of literature and curriculum.

It is my goal that with this project I can ensure my students have access to a variety of rich literature.
