My Project

This is an ambitious project, but worth it! The English department at our High School has made "Read-Only Friday" a thing. But we need more easy wins for reluctant readers--one sitting reads, literary graphic novels, gripping stories, soapy romances. Help us make regular reading for pleasure both easy and contagious at our school!

Some of the titles here have already proven pretty popular, and we need more of them--Heartstopper, They Both Die At The End, Long Way Down, To Kill A Mockingbird, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me, Yummy.

Some titles students have asked for--Ms. Marvel, The First To Die At The End (a prequel!), and more.

The important thing is that students have books they can read, want to read, and will read on Fridays. The books in this project--and yes, there are a lot of them--will be distributed among the teachers so all our students can enjoy these titles.
