My Project

These books will enhance the print-rich classrooms that we strive to create. Classroom libraries are places that students really enjoy; every student book that is placed in a classroom library is treated with love and care, and the students are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with our students in mind - I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new books, 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 interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help our students grow stronger in reading. Our students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
