My Project

This project will help my students tremendously. It is my goal to provide every student at my K-5 elementary school with 2 free books to take home and keep for World Read Aloud Day. Many of my students do not get to purchase books from the book fairs due to financial constraints.

Providing each student with 2 free books on World Read Aloud Day to take home and add to their home libraries will fill them with joy and excitement.

It will help encourage them to read on their own and allow them to choose books that they like and want to read.

This will give them the chance to read books that they choose on their reading level at home with their family which will help improve reading skills and help their reading scores at school.
