For the Love of Reading
Funded Jun 28, 2016Thanks a bunch for all of the support.
I can pretty much guarantee my kids reading levels will go up because of the books you all provided. They'll hopefully learn to love reading and will carry that love throughout their lives.
Really appreciate all of the support and help, especially from Frank.”

Child Labor Unit
Funded Feb 27, 2015I want to thank you all for providing us the resources to actively engage in our Child Labor Unit. My students really enjoyed connecting to the main character Lakshmi. Through the novel, my students were able to identify direct and indirect characterization. They were able to identify theme and outline the child labor process. My students still reference Sold, referencing it when they are connecting to our current unit, Romeo and Juliet. It is an accomplishment to have a full class reading every day, and that is what this book did for us.
My students were often gasping and yearning to read aloud while we were studying our Child Labor Unit. They loved reading the novel and often asked why we did not read "cool books like Sold" for the entire year. My students told me they appreciated being able to take the books home with them to read independently and for homework. For our culminating project, my students appreciated being able to search the novel for lines that related to understanding how/why child labor functions.
Again, thank you for all the support.”
