Mrs. Bickham from Bakersfield CA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Books...There It Is!

Help me give my students literature like Aesop's Fables to help us improve our reading comprehension skills, apply those abilities to our writing and gain a deeper meaning of our world through texts.

My Project

Learning to read leads to reading to learn. Any resources that help us teach children to read, are blessings. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the look on a child's face the first time they read or hear a magnificent piece of literature. As we dive deep into texts, we deepen readers understanding and enjoyment of reading. I am requesting literature like Aesop's Fables to help us improve our reading comprehension skills, apply those abilities to our writing and gain a deeper meaning of our world through texts.

Reading literature in the young grades inspries our littles to love reading and desire to read more.

The connections they make to characters, settings, and events in a story help them relate to the world around them. Reading with littles brings joy to all big and small.
