My Project

My students are beginning readers. I am creating a classroom library to provide my students with a wide selection of books. My objective is to motivate my students to read, and I hope they will cultivate a love for reading.

We need books that are appropriately leveled, ensuring that when my students are assessed and their reading levels are determined.

They will have access to texts suitable for their abilities.

The Cricut machine will be utilized to create labels for the library, enabling students to easily navigate and independently locate books.
