Seeking Students Who Love To Read!
Funded May 9, 2021
I am so grateful for the donations made to have great books in my classroom. Reading among children seems to be on the decline nationwide, and I feel having a wide variety of books readily available to choose from is something that can help increase reading.
Your donation made that possible. We now have books of every genre that students can choose from. We've got mysteries, coming-of-age stories, graphic novels, and more. When students browse the titles, I hear them sharing their enthusiasm for reading with each other. It's exciting.
Thank you again for your support of my classroom. I truly appreciate, and I know my students do as well! Here's to the next generation of readers!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Holden
This classroom project was brought to life by Google.org and 23 other donors.

I am always looking for ways to encourage the love of reading for my 8th grade students. One way to do that is to teach books in class that we all read and learn from. I hope to do that with books both old and new - Jason Reynold's book: Look Both Ways and The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. Another sure way to get students reading is through variety and choice. I want to do this by having current graphic novels to choose from, from stories about history (March by John Lewis) to being the new kid in school, to reading about experiences of kids who are different from you - graphic novels are the perfect way to encourage kids to read more.
