My Project

My goal is to increase reading in my classroom! I would like to build a library that will be irresistible. My students enjoy a good book . They will read even when they should be working and I love this about them.

Reading is the platform that I am urging my students to take advantage of whenever possible!

Reading across the curriculum helps broaden students' understanding. I want to provide a science library that will enable students to learn beyond the components of their grade level requirements.

Increasing reading engagement is sure to boost test scores and enhance their love for a good book!
