My Project

Exciting titles right in the classroom allows students with lower reading levels through advanced skills to get immediate access to gain more knowledge and grow a love for reading. By having a variety of levels and titles, students can pick something that is of interest and would help them to raise their reading levels throughout the year. This would also allow students to reach their reading goals they set each semester to gain points that help them reach the reward for that period. Reading is the foundation of all subjects. With funding for this project, Students will Grow in all areas of learning.
