  • Book Clubs: Read It! Discuss It!

    Funded Jan 13, 2017

    Thank you for funding my project. The books you donated have made all the difference to my students. The books were used to start book clubs in my classroom. These leveled books allowed my students to choose a "just right" book. The students read the books independently. Each book club decided how many pages to read for that day. As they read, students used post-its to mark the key points in their book. Then students discussed their ideas about their book with their club. Book clubs have inspired my students to read. They loved reading the books! Thank you for your generosity!”

  • Rocking Read Aloud Books

    Funded Jan 29, 2013

    Thank you for funding my project "Rocking Read Aloud Books." My students were so excited to receive the new books. I have been doing many read alouds in class. The books have been great tools to use in order to model comprehension strategies. In addition, I have used the books as mentor texts to help improve my students' writing skills. It is great to have these resources handy for the students to read and refer to. My students have learned about different reading strategies such as visualization, making connections, drawing conclusions, asking questions and making predictions while reading. They are using these strategies when they read independently. Thank you for making a difference in my students' lives!”

Empower our children by giving them books. I am an academic reading teacher. I teach in a low income neighborhood. My students have difficulty reading. This year I have the privilege of teaching fifth grade students. My students would benefit from multiple copies of literature that they could read together.
