My Project

Immersing students in literature is key to any classroom, but what about the home? Reading at home gives students more of an opportunity to explore new ideas, dive into new worlds, and experience a different life. An opportunity to provide books to enrich my students’ learning is one of my top priorities.

The children need more enriching pieces of literature to maintain that joy of reading within the classroom that their former teachers and parents have created from early childhood.

Since my classroom has a great range of reading levels and interests, as well as English Language Learners, all would enjoy the opportunity to receive some new and exciting literature to be used in school and at home. I would like to create a classroom library that can be sent home for each child that contains new and exciting books for the children to borrow and read each night.

With these books, the students will be able to read in school and at home on a specific interest, as well as develop fluency and comprehension on individual levels while developing reading confidence.
