Running Towards Reading!
Funded Apr 22, 2018
Words cannot describe how grateful I am for your generous donation. Thank you for helping to foster a love of reading within my students. As you know, a love a read does not always occur naturally and is hard to foster when engaging, easily read books are missing from your classroom and library. My students will be very excited to learn that our classroom collection now includes a book they chose and look forward to reading. Thank you so much for sowing into my students. Thank you for seeing their potential and for providing books that they will hopefully grow to love, as much as I do. Reading is everything! Your donation makes that possible.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Otto

All of my students receive special education services and have experienced significant difficulty reading. It has been challenging finding just right books that are highly engaging and easily readable for my students due to their limitations and resistance to reading. This school year, my students have made leaps and bounds towards becoming willing readers. My students regularly vote on our class novels, and they choose to read From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Brasil E. Frankweiler. They have chosen the last two class novels by casting their votes, and I have noticed the difference! Also, making time for independent reading has made a major impact.
