Novels Or Never: Why I Need Books For Struggling Readers

Funded Jan 18, 2012

Thank you so much for the funding for this amazing project. My student have 40 new novels to read. This may seem like a small project, but the bigger feat is getting them to read them. They have devoured them. My books already have dog-eared pages and creases where they have bent the books back to read at night. This is amazing. I love to books, but I love new books that are being read more! I can not believe how just a few books and reignited my students' love of reading. I love that they feel comfortable borrowing books and talking about them again. I feel very honored that so many people donated to our project. With your generosity, I have a full bookshelf with books worth reading. Finding a good book is like finding a good friend. You have given my students a good friend and skill, which is the love of reading, that will be life long!

Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you”
