Books to Help One Fall in Love with Reading
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am always looking for an appealing book to entice my readers. Many of these award-winning books will fit that need. Our school has voracious readers who are constantly looking for the next title to enthusiastically consume. We also have students who need gentle encouragement to continue searching for an engrossing read.
These titles will help students continue to enjoy reading or help them find one to ignite the spark for the love of reading. I am planning on including many of these titles in future displays as well as book talks for class visits.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community
and one other donor.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
You donate directly to the teacher or project you care about and see where every dollar you give goes.
