Read for Life

Funded Nov 28, 2017

Reading for middle school needs to be fun, entertaining, and interesting. In a generation where snaps and stories are only 10-15 seconds long, the attention spans of us youth are not the same as they once were. If reading is not made fun and interesting, many students will dread it, not participate or avoid it. Thanks to your donations, our teacher was able to make it enjoyable for us!

Our teacher chose books that were age appropriate, full of critical thinking, and actually interesting. Since we got our books, we were able to read aloud as a class, talk about character relations and what we see in these characters that we also see in ourselves. The outsiders was so related to us all. I have a group of friends who all claimed a character. I claimed Pony boy.

Through this project we have learned that if we choose a good book, reading can be easy, enjoyable, and exciting! It is fun to read as a class and to do fun activities with every chapter. Thank you all for making it possible for us!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Gonzalez
