My Project

As a teacher dedicated to fostering a love of reading, I am constantly searching for ways to engage my early readers in a way that sparks their curiosity and builds their literacy skills. Many of my students are ready to take the next step from picture books into chapter books, and I am seeking support to provide a variety of captivating and age-appropriate chapter books for them.

The books I am requesting are designed to spark imagination, encourage independent reading, and promote a lifelong love of books.

These chapter books are ideal for children who are just starting to build their reading confidence but are ready for something a bit more challenging than simple picture books. They will help my students develop skills in reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary while also expanding their imaginations.
