Developing Dynamic Readers

Funded Sep 6, 2021

The donated books have made a huge impact in my classroom. I paired the books with a reading interest "quiz" to better help my students find new titles and explore new genres. The books donated and the quizzes that are part of the library have led my students to enjoy new titles.

In my classroom, the majority of the students are reluctant readers. It is a struggle to get the students engaged in stories. However, these high interest titles that were donated provide many new opportunities for my students to explore new stories. we share titles we have read and students share a book recommendation every Friday. We also do "First Chapter Fridays" where I read aloud the first page or two of a book in order to generate interest. Many students end up borrowing the titles that I share.

I have one student in particular who has really enjoyed the graphic novels in the new library. He has borrowed one after another and has shared the titles with friends and they have borrowed the books as well. Thank you so much for your generous donation!”

With gratitude,
