About the Project

Each child in Ms. Jacobsen’s reading intervention classroom (about 90 students that come for about 30 minutes a day) will get a passport that is stamped when they read a book (family signature required) with the name of the book and one student written sentence that states, “This book took me to…”. This passport will get filled out throughout the year, and students will keep the passport until the end of the year. New books will be bought throughout the year for students to add to their home library and read. Students will be able to share their passports in their classroom throughout the year, and share out at an end of the year celebration.
