My Project

The amount of reading a child does directly affect their reading ability, writing skills, achievement in school, and love of learning. Our fifth graders need books in their hands every day. As teachers, we provide opportunities for students to read at school. But our students also need access to books they can take home to read.

It’s important for us as Language Arts teachers to be able to provide a large and diverse collection of books that our students want to dive into.

Many of our classroom libraries are several years old and not up to date. We don’t have enough graphic novels for all our students who are interested in them.

Please help me give my students constant access to relevant and exciting books, including graphic novel series and other books they love!
