My Project

My students are a curious group with lots of energy that is developing their love for reading in kindergarten.

This project will provide my students with engaging picture books that will make reading feel relevant, fun and exciting!

We live in a very rural part of Oklahoma that sometimes leaves many without having access to literacy rich in books.

My district is making changes in our early childhood program to transition into more of a science-based reading. If funded, these read-aloud books will help support my students to learn and grow like they deserve to!
