Popular Books for Classroom Library

Funded Jan 16, 2025

Thank you so much for your generosity in helping us bring new books into our classroom! Your support has made a tremendous impact on our students' enthusiasm for reading and their growth as learners. Having access to engaging and high-interest books has not only encouraged students to pick up a book more often but has also helped them develop critical thinking skills, comprehension strategies, and a deeper appreciation for diverse stories. Through these new texts, students are exploring historical narratives, connecting with characters who reflect their own experiences, and expanding their understanding of the world around them.

In our classroom, reading is an interactive and dynamic experience. Students participate in independent reading, small-group discussions, and whole-class activities that promote literacy skills such as summarizing, analyzing themes, and making text-to-world connections. With these new books, students have been eager to recommend stories to one another, leading to organic conversations about literature that extend beyond assigned reading. One student, who previously struggled to find books that interested him, excitedly shared that he finished an entire book in just a few days—something he had never done before! Another student, who typically prefers shorter texts, is now engaged in a novel because she finally found a character she relates to.

Your generosity has helped create a reading culture in our classroom and contributed to a growing literacy program in our school. By providing students with books they are excited to read, you are fostering a love of literature that will benefit them for years to come. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in our students' learning journeys!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Gutierrez
