Ms. C. from CA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Avid Readers Need Books

My middle and high school students need twelve books, such as "The Time Paradox" and "Breaking Dawn".

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

The reason we have so many avid readers at our small charter school for grades six through twelve is because we let them choose the books they want to read and then we give them time to read them. In three years, our last year's eighth grade class of twenty students had read over a half million pages! As the schools' primary English teacher, my job is to make sure the students have all the books they are yearning to read. With over a hundred students, this is a challenge that I love to meet. I have found and listed twelve books that my students have shown an interest in. When purchased, these books will surely keep them reading. With your help, these students will be able to continue to read at a pace that will have a significantly positive effect on their education and their lives.
