Many of my students do not have books within their homes. When they leave school for the summer, their reading is finished for two months. Over this school year, they've been given full access to my classroom library. They are able to borrow books to take home whenever they'd like. Many of them are building up a love of reading and I want that love to continue to grow. Several of my students claim that they don't like to read. I always respond, "WE just haven't found the genre for YOU, yet." About a week ago, I took a poll of my students. "How many of you would like to a book or two to take home for the summer? The books would be yours forever". Instantly, ninety percent of their hands shot into the air. Your donations will help show my students that reading isn't just for school. It can be fun, engaging, and exciting to take a journey in your imagination.
