The Reading Games: a Novel Study of the Hunger Games.

Funded Jan 25, 2023

I am so thankful for the contribution each of you made to my classroom. The students absolutely LOVED reading The Hunger Games. As you probably know, getting kids to read is quite a task...but getting kids to fall in love with a book is a miracle. I can confidently say that these kids fell in love with these books. It proved to many of them, who claimed they hated reading, that there is a book they could get into and enjoy. I have a particular student in mind who was not into reading at all, but after we started reading The Hunger Games, he was the first to volunteer to read to the class each day. That student ended up getting the award for ELA and exceeding growth on his EOG. I believe that reading those books gave him the confidence he needed to call himself a "reader". You cannot put a price on what your donation gave to my classes. They would literally beg to read for just a few more minutes! Thank you for putting the sparkle in my students eye about reading and giving them the opportunity to dive into this awesome story!”

With gratitude,

Ms. West
