My Project

These books will enhance the classroom library in order to build a love of learning and reading for students at all reading levels. I strive to have a classroom library that students enjoy going to and using. They love accessing the carpet and sitting on bean bags with a great book. I would love to add an increased variety of books. These new books will help them choose new, exciting books that will allow them to read independently and at their own reading level. The best way to improve students' reading level is to read daily. These books will help them to foster a love of reading which will encourage them to read more.
