My Project

Books are a great way to experience the world with real life characters. My students imaginations are in overdrive when they are reading a good book with characters that are familiar to them.

Diverse representation in books are a necessity for our young students, because they need to see others that reminds them that they are valuable and appreciate them for just being themselves.

The storage boxes are used to store the books and phonics flash cards. These resources will help students with their reading fluency and learn how to effective communicate.
