My Project

My students are part of a reading and writing resource class. They range from not being able to read, trying hard to read, and on the way to becoming a reader. It is important to always have books that will interest them.

Having changing content in their library keeps them looking for that next great read.

Having a viariety of genres and levels is also important. Giving a child the ability to read is important. Giving a child the gift of being a reader will take them anywhere they want to go!
