Help me give my students books at their reading level! I have a class of many beginning readers that need to develop confidence in their reading abilities, which starts with being exposed to books that they CAN read!

Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students come from a low-income community in Los Angeles. Our school is a high poverty site, where 100% of our students get free and reduced lunch. Considered a Title I school, we have students that experience an achievement gap due to their socioeconomic status and the effects of such factors.
Although we may reside in a community that lacks resources, we are so blessed to be in a school community that fights to beat the odds.
And as my students begin to see that their education is valued, they'll soon experience the truth that they too are a vital part of their communities.
My Project
This year will be my first year in 1st grade, and I need more diverse books in my students' reading levels. Looking at my data this year, I can see that my students will need extra support in developing early literacy skills. My hope is that my students can leave my classroom with a deeper love for reading and appreciation for working hard at meeting their individual goals!
Please help bring books that my students CAN read in my classroom!
Struggling with reading always brings down students' self-esteem, but having access to books that have words they can recognize will help them develop a new love for reading. I want my students to believe that they can overcome their literacy struggles!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
