My Students

Did you know that reading in a small-group environment can provide better results?

My students are a group of eager readers.

We have many books in our classroom library; however, we need books that are more on their level. Even though our classroom library has expanded this year, I do not have access to multiple copies of the same book. This causes my small groups to have to share books.

My Project

I am requesting the King Series Bundle from AKJ books. The classroom kit of books comes with multiple copies of each title. Having multiple copies will allow me to teach smaller reading groups, based on their individual levels. Teaching reading in a small group will help me reach the needs of my students.

Your donation will be of big help to the struggling readers, as well as the advanced readers.

My students will be exposed to books that their peers are also reading at the same time. They will have the opportunity to discuss books and this could foster a life-long love for reading.
