Open a Book, Open a Mind

Funded Dec 3, 2024

Thank you so much for helping to fund my classroom reading project. My students are enjoying these books immensely and are always asking for more books like these! Every day, they independent read and they most enjoy graphic novels due to the action and the photos. Graphic novels were not popular when I was their age, so I am happy to see them taking interest in reading, even if it looks different than traditional reading!

These novels help my students' creativity in their own writing. We are currently writing fictional narratives and these books will help students with many important aspects of their writing, such as plot development, imagery, and characterization. I am trying to show my students that reading has so many benefits in life and your generosity is helping me with that goal.

Thank you, again, for helping me show my students the power of reading and learning.”

With gratitude,
