First-grade teacher Lisa Garner was awarded a Foundation Mini-Grant to purchase nonfiction books for her classroom. The grant enables the acquisition of materials tailored to various reading levels to ensure students can engage with content suited to their abilities.
The new book collection includes materials across three different reading levels. This variety is intended to provide a strong foundation for students and offer opportunities for them to challenge themselves as they progress.
According to a notice from the Provo City School District, the nonfiction books cover topics such as animals, plants, and outer space. These resources are intended to spark curiosity and encourage exploration, helping students develop reading skills and a deeper understanding of the world.
The access to these diverse resources is intended to foster an early interest in science and discovery, potentially leading to a lifelong love of learning for students.
