The goal for this project is to continue to foster the love of reading that my students have. Many students do not have access to many books at home nor do I always have easy access to books for them. Our current classroom library consists of many generous used book donations. We are very grateful for those and the students love them, however, they are not all specific to student interests or the various reading levels in our special education inclusion classroom. The hope is that by selecting books that come in series and sets, students will find some that they love and be excited to pick up the next book! The love of reading will open many doors for my students and I cannot stress enough how important it is to surround them with these books in their very own classroom. Your donation would have a huge impact on their exposure to vocabulary and ideas, help with their English language development, and most importantly, inspire them to keep reading more!
