The Power of Independent Self-Selected Reading
Funded Sep 13, 2016Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous donations to my book project. Coming from a school in which the majority of my students are from low-income families, your donation is even more impactful.
Just like anything else in life, students don't excel at reading unless they practice it. Because of this, we start every class with independent reading. During this reading time, I want students to find an author, a character or a story that really speaks to them. I wasn't able to give students enough choice in this until I received your donation. Now I have books in my library from authors that speak their language, with characters that look like them and plots that they connect to.
Because of this, students are starting to embrace reading. They are starting to find their favorite books. Thanks to you, they are on their way not only to becoming readers, but to becoming successful in academia and ultimately in life.
Thank you.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Malm
