Funded Nov 11, 2021I would like to thank you again for bringing this project to life for my students and I. As a second year teacher, I don't have many books that are meaningful and culturally relevant to my students. I knew that if I wanted to shift their perspectives and attitude towards reading, I had to find books that would capture their interest. Your support has allowed me to transform our daily reading groups and allow students to experience reading in a different way.
My students were excited to incorporate these books into literature circles. The deep conversations and discussions that stemmed from the books were truly amazing to see! This project has helped students improve their reading fluency, comprehension, and higher-level thinking skills. It is amazing what a great book can do for students!
Thank you for supporting our classroom!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Jackson
