Funded Dec 1, 2021Thank you so much for supporting my classroom library! It is with much thanks that I can say my students can now find a voice and human they can connect with, someone or something they can see resembling the world they live in. Hesitant readers-a growing clientele in many schools and a growing challenge for teachers-will, with your donations, find their voice in what they read. Know that you are are not only helping reluctant readers find their voice but that you are part of the team and assisting teachers close a gap that hinders every aspect of life for many of our students.
As an introduction to the books, students were tasked with creating a video book review for one of the new titles without actually reading it. This was done to serve two objectives: introduce the books and to hook the students into reading a book. It didn't surprise me when several students quickly asked if they could check the book out and keep reading. These books are already making a great addition to the learning experience.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Larson
