Project Description

We have bookshelves full of wonderful stories to read but my students pick up a book, go to a spot on the rug and look at the book by themselves. I would like to build community and friendship through reading. If students could invite a friend to sit with them on a couch and read together it would promote literacy skills and unity. When friends share a book, they tend to spend more time discussing the book together than they would looking at a book alone. 

 

Expected Outcomes

My students will become more compassionate people and better readers through community reading. I will be able to measure this by seeing students interact in positive ways and seeing their love of books increase. I can monitor the students and hear their discussions. 

 

Purpose of Funding

I will use the grant to purchase a sofa for my students to read together on to build unity and literacy.
