My Project

The books that are a part of this project are intended to keep my library current and to keep students excited! This will be exactly what I need to refresh my library! Many of the books I selected for this project are part of a series which is a great way to spark a love for reading to keep students motivated to continue to read!

To keep students as highly motivated as readers, it is vital for a teacher to keep their library current with the newest books!

The program that we use at our school encourages students to read books at their level that vary in length. I have selected a variety of books for this project that will be able to be enjoyed by my readers needing transitional readers but also my students who are reading longer chapter books!
