Nutty about Nooks!

My students need two more Nook Tablets to increase our growing electronic library. The Nook covers will protect them (plus two others) for years to come.

My Students

A book on a Nook! It's amazing how much the new eReaders are beginning to change the attitudes of my reluctant readers. They are fighting over the current Nooks in the classroom. I've never seen them fight over a paperback book!

My 4th and 5th grade classes are filled with diverse learners and many struggling readers.

Encouraging them to read books in a world of push buttons, interactivity, on/off switches and sound can be a challenging task. I think I've finally found a way!

My Project

I am requesting two Nooks and 4 covers to increase our expanding electronic library. The day one of my students chose as a reward at recess to read a book on an eReader, instead of playing a game on the iPad, was the day I realized how I can encourage them to read. Electronic book readers aka eReaders, are now playing a huge part in our classroom. Through other funded DonorsChoose projects, we are now increasing our electronic library. The students are fighting over who gets the Nook next. Of course we've come up with a fair way to share them, but I have a dream that each child will one day have their own. Seeing my students want to read is just delightful and warming to the heart. The Nooks will help cultivate the love of a "good book."

With your help, students will develop a love and a desire for reading, which will prepare them for success in high school, college, and their future careers!

Help me inspire my reluctant and struggling readers in the NOOK of time. This will make a huge impact on my students. I know they will be excited to come to school and look forward to reading books on the Nook. Help create lifelong lovers of reading.
