These books will help create lifelong readers in our third, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms. We want to introduce children to rich literature and in order to do this, we know that we need to provide high quality books and introduce students to new genres and series as well. We hope to increase the volume of reading in our classrooms because the amount of reading students do is one of the greatest predictors of school success. This grant will effect students' attitude towards reading, their ability to find rich literature, and their reading ability by increasing students’ amount of reading, vocabulary, and reading comprehension through class discussions. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve student engagement and academic achievement, but ultimately help them become lifelong readers. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an increased interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with new books in their classroom.
