My Project

My kindergarten students enjoy reading and listening to books! My students will be able to check out books to take home to read or listen to stories with their family and friends.

Access to books is essential to developing basic reading skills, leads to longer and more frequent shared reading between parents and children, and produces increased enjoyment of books and improved attitude towards reading and academics.

Reading aloud to children helps associate books and reading with people they love, which motivates them to read more. (Healthy Children) Reading, talking, singing, and playing with young children helps to improve their language, literacy, social skills, and emotional skills.
