My Project

Independent reading is important because it builds on reading stamina, student ownership of their reading process, and develops the habits needed to be lifelong readers. Please help my students become lifelong readers. This project will provide new books that are relevant to our student's interests.

This project offers books that match student interests!

When a child learns to read, each child goes at his or her own pace. Not one student is the same. Not one student's interests are the same either. That's why it's so important to have variety in a classroom library. Let's get them excited about reading!
