Building a Classroom Library to Foster the Love of Reading

Help me give my students a classroom library filled with books that they can read and enjoy outside of the curriculum I teach.

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $771 goal

My Project

The goal of having a classroom library is to foster a love of reading and support my students' literacy development. By providing a diverse selection of books readily available within the classroom, the aim is to encourage my students to engage in independent reading, explore various genres and topics, and develop their reading skills. Additionally, a classroom library will help create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to choose books that align with their interests, promoting a lifelong habit of reading for pleasure and enhancing their overall academic success.
