Help is needed! I currently teach a 7th and 8th grade special needs class in a high poverty area. The students are functioning well below grade level and really need to feel successful. The same students are usually with me for a few years at a time.

We currently are rereading all the books we have for the third, fourth and fifth times. The students are getting bored with the same books. As we all know, there have been major cut backs due to our economic crisis! We have been unable to purchase new books through school. The students who need the help the most are the same ones who have had their funding cut!

I recently read the book Green Eggs and Ham to the class. One, hard to reach student, was so excited about that story that I would like to get more Dr. Seuss books to keep him and the other students excited about reading. We are looking to build our classroom library with Dr. Seuss early reading books. With these resources my students will once again be excited about reading and also feel a sense of success. The books will be used from year to year as part of our small but ever growing library.

Your support will continue to reach students for many years to come. Please help because it is through donors like you that our students will succeed!
