My Project

We are starting a new reading program in our department. Each student will need their own binder to organize their materials and tools. There are many different areas that need to be separated from phonics to fluency to their own personal word collector. The dividers will allow easy and quick access to the materials they will need without hunting for them.

The new books would give my students the opportunity to choose books to read at their independent level.

They would also have a variety of books to choose from. With the variety of books, they will be able to choose books that interest them. My library is very limited. They continue to reread the books because the love to read. I know they would be so excited to receive new books to dive into.
