Project Goal

**Goal of the Project:**
The primary goal of the project is to enhance literacy skills and foster a lifelong love of reading among 5th-grade students by providing them with access to a diverse selection of high-quality books. This includes incorporating Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) books and other titles that cater to various reading levels and interests. Through this initiative, we aim to:

1. Improve reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary.
2. Encourage critical thinking and analytical skills through exposure to diverse genres and themes.
3. Increase student engagement and motivation to read.
4. Provide educational enrichment by broadening students' understanding of different cultures, historical events, and scientific concepts.
5. Support the existing curriculum with additional literary resources that align with educational objectives.

By achieving these goals, we hope to create a rich literary environment that will benefit students academically and personally, promoting overall academic achievement and a deeper appreciation for literature.

Project goal for math: Increasing students automaticity of basic facts and building off of standards they have learned in class while working independently.

Expected Outcome(s)

Books: Expected outcomes for this project are improved reading fluency, enhanced reading comprehension, expansion of vocabulary, achievement of reading goals, improved critical thinking skills, enhanced cultural awareness and empathy, etc.
