Pages for Progress: Brighter Futures One Book at a Time
Funded Oct 3, 2024I work in a low-income community and I unfortunately many of the novels in our textbook room are outdated. Thanks to your and your generous donations I have been able to introduce my students to more contemporary novels and prove to them that reading can be so much fun with the right book!
In my classroom I provide students with 15-20 minutes of reading at the beginning of every period. It has come to a point where many of my students are reading on their own time and even completing the novels much faster than I ever anticipated! It has been so exciting to see their spark for reading be reignited.
My sophomore class have relatively low reading levels and are reluctant readers. We are reading one of the novels together and they even get upset that we don't keep reading more. They have become fully invested in the stories and are even requesting other novels by the same author. Thanks to you and your donations, I can't thank you enough.”
