Hooray! This project is fully funded

I work with amazing students who struggle, but take such pride in their growth during the year. I teach second grade at a Title I school in a high-need community.

Many of my students do not have the opportunity to explore books at home, so I try to give them books on a variety of topics and genres to explore at school. Also, many of my students have not had a wide range of experiences outside of the classroom. I often find that they need encouragement to read because they often struggle with the basic skills of reading.

We need more nonfiction books to add to our classroom library. I have found that nonfiction books can help improve their interest in reading, build missing background knowledge, and teach them about a range of topics. They love exploring and learning facts through reading nonfiction books. We also use these books to help us write our own books during our nonfiction unit of study.

Your help will provide my students with the opportunity to learn about things that they might never have the opportunity to do otherwise. Your support will help them increase their interest in reading and learning.
