My Project

With all the technology used in school these days, most students have fallen out of the habit of settling down with a good book. Help me get back to basics with my students by expanding my library with the book series my students love to read!

I have a wide variety of readers in my classes, and the #1 way to keep them engaged is to continue to supply them with books from their favorite book series.

Eyewitness Books, are a popular nonfiction book series that help kids learn about the world around them, past present and future. Wings of Fire is a popular fantasy book series that is keeping my students on the edge of their seats. I have also included other popular series about all kinds of characters from diverse backgrounds, so that my students will see themselves reflected in their classroom library.
