My Students

I am lucky to teach in a school community that values reading and books. Most of my students love to read, but some struggle to find texts that they enjoy or that are on a reading level that is just right for them.

A large collection of books in a series will help struggling students find multiple books that they can be successful in as readers.

Series books are a great way to build confidence in struggling readers. Students reading a book in a series can rely on familiar characters, vocabulary, settings, and story structure that have appeared in previous books to help them feel confident and engage in the text.

My Project

Students have a feeling of accomplishment when they complete books they enjoy and comprehend. Series books can help more student do this more often. It's also a great way to build reading stamina, critical analysis skills and writing skills. I know that a great many of my students will benefit from additional series titles in our classroom library.

Harry Potter isn't the only great series out there.

There are tons of great young adult series books my students would love. Please help us add exciting, easy to read, age-appropriate series books to our classroom library so students can read and succeed this school year.
