My Project

The materials in this project will provide an encouraging incentive, quench their thirst and provide a sweet treat to enjoy while reading a book of their choosing. Our students are significantly low when it comes to reading levels and this is an attempt to make the task of reading an enjoyable one.

Supplying a small treat to help students focus on the task at hand can foster their love and enhance their overall attitude towards reading and give them something to look forward to.

I'm just a Librarian trying everything I can to encourage my students to read, baby, read! I want enough snacks so everyone will be able to enjoy this treat together. This is the third time we've posted this project due to its effectiveness. Having a small reward is getting books in their hands! Please find it in your heart to support this library activity for our kids.
