My Project

Having access to high interest books is crucial in a world where student attention is in limited supply. Often students are left with outdated materials or those that are not aligned with their interests. We are looking for texts that can keep students locked in and wanting to read.

When students get hooked on a series, that is when their attention span becomes unbounded and they will read for hours on end!

This series has been requested by students as one that will catch their attention and keep them reading in class and building up their literacy skills and stamina.
