My Project

My diverse students enjoy hearing and reading stories that showcase different people, places, and things. They enjoy activities that are engaging, thoughtful, and fun. With these books and activities, students can enjoy new stories that reflect who they are and build their reading comprehension.

These materials will help improve student's reading fluency, stamina, and comprehension.

The materials will expand our students' view of the world around them.

Students will learn to express their thoughts through writing and share what they have learned. With your support, we can make this possible.
