I am asking for high interest paperback reading books for my students to read at home. Many of the books I am requesting are books the students themselves have been requesting like the "Pete the Cat" series, "Magic Tree House" series and the "Berenstain Bears" series. Students are also asking for books featuring their favorite characters like Maisy. Finally, students are requesting books by beloved authors like Judy Blume.
Many of my students do not have access to quality reading books to read at home.
I want to build their home libraries so they may experience the joy of reading in their own homes.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
