My Project

My project is helping me to acquire hard copies of specific books that align with our Into Reading curriculum. My students have shown a tremendous enthusiasm for reading aloud, and it has been heartwarming to witness their excitement when I introduce new texts. After our read-aloud sessions, many students express a desire to hold the books themselves, often pretending to be the teacher and re-reading the stories during independent reading time. Additionally, they eagerly want to share these books with their families and friends.

This desire to connect to books, fosters a love for reading both in and out of the classroom.

While I currently have access to these titles online, I believe that having physical copies would significantly enhance their reading experience and engagement. I kindly request support in obtaining hard copies of the following books. I am writing to request support in acquiring hard copies of specific books that align with our Into Reading curriculum. My students have shown a tremendous enthusiasm for reading aloud, and it has been heartwarming to witness their excitement when I introduce new texts.

Thank you for considering this request. I am confident that these books will not only support our curriculum but also inspire my students to continue their love for reading.
