  • Using the Power of SF: Robots, Robots, and More Robots

    Funded May 20, 2024

    It is a breath of fresh air to receive assistance in the form of brand new books that will directly impact my students in the classroom. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    The faces of my students will be covered in hopeful smiles as they improve their literacy while journeying through great science fiction novels which I truly believe will spark many of my students to want to read even more books.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

  • Transforming Literacy with Science Fiction Novels!

    Funded Dec 2, 2023

    Thank you for your generous donation of Nnedi Okorafor's "Binti" novels to my classroom. The impact of new and interesting science fiction books has made a dramatic impact already, as students have eagerly devoured book after book. The majority of my students have shifted from being reluctant readers to being students always seeking their next good book. Without your funding of this project, most of my students would still view reading as boring and a chore. You have created a power learning opportunity, which may permanently and positively change their attitudes towards reading.”

I teach high school English Second Language (ESL) students and college-prep 9th and 12th graders. Many of the students in my classes have low reading ability and motivation. Many of my students believe they are not meant to go to college.
