My Project

Imagine if you needed to read a book for class but the only books available were too hard for you to read. This is a struggle for a population of my students who have difficulties in reading.

Many of my students struggle to read, which makes it difficult to see success in other subjects.

One of the ways to improve reading is to read often. Students who struggle to read need more options in the school library. They need to be able to find more books that interest them and that they will enjoy reading.

This project allows these students to have a wider variety of books to read which will bring excitement and make them want to read more.
