My Project

It's no secret that literacy rates in the city of Philadelphia are low. This is a crisis that is persistant and extremely damaging to the students within the Philadelphia school district.

According to a study published in 2019, "Adolescent exposure to books is an integral part of social practices that foster long-term cognitive competencies spanning literacy, numeracy and ICT skills".

With access to more books in my classroom, in a range of reading levels, I am able to help students reach higher literacy skills and foster a love of reading that will follow them after they've graduated.
