Building Good Readers One Good Book at a Time

Help me give my students good books to continue good reading habits in the classroom.

My Project

We are a small rural school with limited access to new or even current reading materials. We do not have a bookstore or even a place other than Dollar General to purchase new books. WalMart is a 45 minute drive away.

Reading a new book is special and our students need to feel special.

The Covid group of students who have missed out on being in school, having libraries and stores closed, have missed out on reading new books. Having access to good books will increase the students learning abilities.

Having these good books in series form in our classroom will help students to find a new genre to read and give them more of the same while continuing on with the entire series.
