My Project

To better support their growth and love for reading, I want to update my classroom library with books that reflect their interests and match their reading levels, based on their reading inventory results.

I want my struggling readers to find joy in reading by picking up books they can enjoy just for fun.

Sometimes, reading can feel challenging, but wordless picture books allow students to bring their imaginations to life and create their own stories. With books like I Spy, they can think critically and engage in meaningful exploration while having fun. These types of books help build confidence and foster a love for reading in a way that’s both accessible and exciting.

Reading is such an important part of my classroom, and having books that truly engage my students can make all the difference. My goal is to create a library that sparks curiosity and helps my students discover the joy of reading. Whether it’s graphic novels, diverse stories, or exciting adventures, these books will provide them with the tools to grow as readers and thinkers.
