My Project

Ms. Hunter's Reader's Cafe is a warm and cozy place for students to read diverse and inclusive books of their choice. At Readers’ Cafe, students will receive reading and writing homework help, strategies to improve their reading abilities, and independent reading time with student choice books.

We have decided to add a book club at the Cafe.

Students voted for two novels to read in our book club. The great news about the book club is that the students chose the books. Igniting the desire for them to want to read is huge!
