My Project

Our current library lacks the variety needed to engage all readers, and many of our reading tools are outdated. By integrating new chapter books and interactive tools, we aim to create a stimulating reading environment. Additionally, the TPT gift card will allow us to acquire high-quality, ready-to-use resources that align with our learning objectives, saving valuable preparation time.

The chapter books will be introduced during reading, allowing students to discuss topics that pique their interest, as well as reading tools that will be utilized in small group settings to provide targeted support, and a TPT gift card to help build centers and lessons for these resources.

These resources will be integrated into our literacy centers and lesson plans, offering diverse and engaging activities.
