My Project

Many of my students are excited to read but don’t have access to books at home that match their reading levels. To help them succeed and foster a love of reading, I’m seeking donations to create a take-home library with books tailored to their individual needs.

The books I’m requesting will cover a range of reading levels— from early picture books to chapter books—so every student, no matter their ability, can take home books that match their skills and interests.

With your support, students can practice reading at home, improve their literacy, and build confidence in their abilities.

These books will make a huge impact in their academic journey, allowing them to read daily and develop essential skills like vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. A take-home library will ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow as a reader, no matter their background or access to resources.

Why This Matters:

When students have books that fit their reading level, they’re more likely to read regularly and stay engaged with learning. Your donation will give them the tools they need to succeed in school and develop a lifelong love of reading.

Thank you for helping make this take-home library a reality!
