My Project

My students are strong, courageous little people who have just been through two years of a pandemic. They have shown how resilient they are and how motivated they are to back to in person learning.

However, the learning loss is undeniable.

These books will help my students to close the gap in reading fluency and comprehension that has occured as the result of the loss of in person learning. Help me get these books into the hands of my students so they can continue to close the learning loss gap!
