My Project

Our classroom needs a library restoration to better support our students' literacy development. Many of our young learners are working on building essential skills such as fine motor development, attention, self-regulation, and cognitive endurance. Unfortunately, many classroom library sets don’t offer a wide variety of books catering to these developmental needs. The limited selection of board books we currently have often wears out quickly due to the hands-on exploration of our curious students.

We are seeking books that will support the foundational skills needed for early literacy and engage students in self-directed exploration of reading materials that complement the curriculum.

These high-quality, durable books will help students make lasting connections with reading in a way that printable teacher-created PDFs cannot. With your generous contribution, we can give our students the resources they need to thrive and build their love of reading.

I appreciate your support in enhancing our students' journey toward reader readiness.
