  • The Reader Games

    Funded Aug 10, 2014

    There aren't enough thank you's in the world to describe how much these books helped my classroom. I have students that are reading anywhere from a first grade to a ninth grade reading level. These books helped each and every one of those students choose an independent reading book ON THEIR LEVEL. The kids carried these books around daily to jump into at any extra moment they had.

    We also took chances to share, recommend, and reflect on our books. The kids were able to learn skills in the classroom all together, and then apply them independently to their own books. It has been incredible to see them fall in love with reading. And that's because of you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Shepherd

At Jefferson Academy, students and teachers alike work every day to achieve the highest level of literacy and math possible. My students are strong, intelligent middle schoolers who have grown up in southern Washington, DC. And hopefully by the end of the year they'll love reading and writing as much as they love sports and junk food!
