My Project

My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. Students in my classroom like to read about various topics but their interests change frequently. I would like to have books will hold their interests and keep them reading in our classrooms.

By donating to this project, you will not only be helping to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement and comprehension!
