My Project

My first graders are excited to read! They feel proud and self-confident when they can read a book by themselves. They need sets of guided reading books that they can practice their reading skills at school and at home.

By donating to the project, you are giving my students access to leveled books that would help expand their vocabulary, develop comprehension, and become confident readers.

My students need lower-level books that they can read at school. By having these sets of guided reading books, my first graders can develop their reading skills and grow a love for reading!
