Encouraging Reading to Be Fun!

Help me give my students a classroom library with engaging books at their independent reading levels. They are all trying to read more independently and love these books. I teach special education and they are excited to read.

My Project

These books will create and continue to enhance the love of reading. I want to produce confident readers with books they love. My students are learning to read independently with these books. I want to use these books to create project-based learning with the stories they love. They love to listen to them during reading time. Every book that is in my student library is treated with love and care. I am also teaching my students to respect books. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own independent level.

My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the books in my library.
