The Need to Read!
Funded Feb 28, 2018
I am so excited to share a book with my students that I know they will enjoy reading as well as learn a valuable life lesson. The author of "Long Way Down," Jason Reynolds, is on a mission to increase literacy rates by writing books that young people of today can relate to.
Mahalo,

This classroom project was brought to life by Naomi Seligman and 3 other donors.

My students need a classroom set of Long Way Down, by Jason Reynolds, a recent National Book Award Finalist, as well as a handful of the author’s other novels, to read and enjoy! My students would love to read "Long Way Down" by Jason Reynolds cover to cover. I teach a reading interventions course, and my students are the ones with the greatest challenges in basic literacy skills. We'd previously looked at excerpts from the novel as a class, but my students are hungry for more and told me they want to read the whole book! This is a chance for me to empower their literacy. Aside from meeting the achievement of reading a whole novel cover to cover, this book will also encourage them to write and think creatively. We want to hold class discussions together, and I'd like my students to write their own stories that encourage other students struggling in school to read and enjoy literature. Our library is outdated and underutilized, and we need these books in order to empower them as readers.
