Help me give my students books to improve literacy while still having fun with reading in class, or hopefully out of class as well.

My Project
I am a high school teacher, many of my students struggle with reading at grade level. Despite these challenges, they are eager to learn and grow, but often feel disconnected from traditional texts. To engage them, I want to build a classroom library filled with high-interest books that reflect their experiences, spark curiosity, and inspire a lifelong love of reading.
Many of my students are reading at a 6th-grade level, so I need to provide books that are both accessible and relevant to their lives.
I want to offer diverse perspectives that resonate with my students, helping them see themselves in the characters and stories. I also want to include graphic novels, which have proven to be effective in building reading comprehension and increasing engagement for reluctant readers.
With your help, I will create a library that excites students and fosters a culture of reading in our classroom. These books will not only help improve their literacy skills but also allow them to explore important themes like identity, friendship, and resilience.
Your donation will directly impact my students by giving them access to books that they will actually want to read—books that will help them discover the power of storytelling. Thank you for considering supporting our classroom and helping our students grow as readers and learners.
More than half of students from low‑income households
