My Project

I have worked for months to rework my schools reading lessons. We had teachers following scripts and reading boring assigned readers. I have found wonderful stories for the teachers to expose the kids to while still teaching the same lessons. We are now having the kids watch Youtube versions of these stories read aloud. My kids watched these stories this year and created a bulliten board of all the book covers we read this year. They were so proud of all the books they had heard but I would love the chance to read them these books myself.

Please help us have these books in our hands!

These books will allow our teachers to have these books on display and stop for teachable moments while reading them to our students.
