My Project

Many of my students are struggling readers and some are English language learners. Others are below grade level in their reading levels and need graphic novels and more exciting chapter books to keep them engaged. My goal is for them to improve their reading levels and foster a lifelong love of reading.

Your donation will allow many students the opportunity to find a series of books on their level that encourages them to want to and love to read.

Many of my students came to third grade below grade level in reading. Due to this, many of my students have a hard time finding a book series that they enjoy, is easy enough to read and comprehend, yet gives them the satisfaction of reading a set of books like their peers. These series have been proven to really engage student attention and interest and help them learn to love reading.

These series give them access to chapter books that are on their level without being too hard or too young. Becoming a good reader is the most important part of becoming a successful student and adult in the future.
