My Project

With a new book organizer and new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

They will also be able to choose books that are of interest.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. The majority of students and families in my area struggle academically, emotionally, environmentally and financially. Please consider helping these kiddos build their dreams by reading books.
