After School, Reading Is Cool!

Funded Dec 31, 2013

My students were so excited when this Donors Choose grant was funded. We were able to have multiple copies of the books that they were requesting to read. The books were made available so that students could participate in book clubs where they were able to read and discuss the book together. Each student having their own copy enabled them to bring the book home to read and enjoy, keeping up with the group, so that when the book club met to discuss their conversations were rich and meaningful. Being exposed to these novels have opened the door for them to read other books by the authors which they have requested for me to find in order for them to read. The project has interested other English teachers and they are wanting to participate in a similar project next year.

I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and willingness to support and promote students' reading.”
