My Students

"I can't believe I just read that!" These are the words I hear students exclaim when they realize that they are capable of reading texts independently. Witnessing the joy that a student experiences from reading is thrilling as a speech and language pathologist. My students are absolutely amazing and are extremely eager to learn, yet struggle to perform at the same academic level as their peers. The majority of my students come from low-income homes and are in self-contained or integrated co-teaching classrooms and receive other therapies such as occupational therapy and counseling to improve their self-confidence. They require instructional support to access the curriculum, make gains and achieve success.

The excitement that comes across my student's faces when they see a new book is indescribable.

High interest, motivating books are the perfect way to target my student's speech and language needs in a safe and rich environment. Providing my students with an expanded and complete leveled library is essential to boost their confidence and foster their love for reading at any level.

My Project

Thanks to all of your help I quickly fulfilled my first DonorsChoose project to provide my students with non-fiction books levels A-P. My library is now in need of non-fiction books levels Q-Z to continue growing with my students as their reading skills improve.

My students need books at various levels that focus on nonfiction topics, have colorful images and are of high interest to keep them engaged and motivated to read.

All of my students are performing at different reading levels and often become overwhelmed and intimidated when presented with books that are above their level of comprehension. Unfortunately, this diminishes their self- confidence and turns them away from wanting to read in the future! As an avid reader, I want to teach my students the joy of getting 'lost' in a book and not being able to put it down until you finish it. It can be very challenging finding quality books for struggling readers, so this library will go a long way in providing my students with a variety of nonfiction books needed to match their specific needs. They will be able to choose books of high interest, read with greater confidence and work on their speech and language goals in a highly motivating environment. The extended library will allow me to monitor and assess their reading capabilities and target their specific needs while working alongside the classroom curriculum. Your generous donation to our project will improve our speech and language room by completing our leveled library and by building a stronger reading center.

This will change our students' lives for the better. They will love school and feel success at an early age – all while learning to love to read!
