My Project

As adults; we all remember great books we read when we were kids. Having a variety of book selections (on your reading level) is an essential part of keeping your reading abilities at it's finest. As a special education teacher in a low income neighborhood, I want to provide my students the best classroom library. I'm a firm believer in implementing the best resources/materials in a given classroom and this Magical Library will be just that.

My champions deserve to read books on their level.

Having a library with not only a variety of book selection but differentiated books, will help motivate reading developments.
