My Students

Do you remember what it was like to be forced to read the book that the teacher chose? The books that this project will fund will not only help improve literacy, but will also help students make connections to the Social Studies curriculum.

Our school is working on improving literacy building wide.

In order to accomplish this task, students need reading level appropriate books that interest them. By improving my classroom's library, this project will encourage students to pick up a good book and improve their reading skills.

My Project

The 23 books that this project will buy for my classroom are high interest and high impact. Among these selected books there is a range of different reading levels and different approaches to the topic of Native Americans. This will allow all my students to benefit from the classroom library. The books will capture the imagination of my students and motivate them to continue to learn more about the native people of North and South America.

This project is important because its goal is to improve my students' literacy.

It is extremely hard for students to be successful in school without the necessary skills, which in this case, are appropriate reading skills. The topics covered in the books will also support the Social Studies curriculum and increase the impact of daily lessons.
