My Project

Every child deserves the chance to become a confident, lifelong reader. Unfortunately, many older students who struggle with reading lack access to books that meet their needs—high-interest, age-appropriate decodable texts that build foundational skills while keeping them engaged.

With your support, we can provide our students with decodable books designed to reinforce phonics skills and accessible novels that inspire a love of reading.

These resources will help bridge learning gaps, boost confidence, and empower students to access the world through literacy.

Your donation will have a lasting impact, giving struggling readers the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond. Thank you for believing in our students and helping us create a classroom where every reader thrives!
