My Project

As a reading intervention specialist, I work with a targeted group of students who are performing well below grade-level expectations in the area of reading. Despite their challenges, my students come to school daily with a positive attitude and are ready to learn.

Often times it is hard to find books that are interesting to older readers, but at a lower lexile level that they can read as they make progress towards reading grade level text.

A third or fourth grader that is reading at a kinder or first grade level might be embarrassed by having to read a Dr. Seuss book due to a lack of interesting options at their reading level.

This project will provide students with much-needed leveled readers that are of interest to them.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
