My Project

The books and resources from my project will help build reading interest in my classroom. These resources will help provide students with books at their level to enjoy independently and will support them with learning new skills.

My goal for this project is to fill students' book boxes with books that interest them and help foster a love for reading!

My students love books and have so much drive to learn to read. They are excited to learn new things every day. As we move into first grade together, they will need books that are more challenging for them with storylines that match their interests. This project will provide my students with a variety of books to choose from and resources to help build skills for emerging readers.

Thank you for considering our project.
