"Readers are Leaders; Help us produce leaders!!!!! Inspire a child, help a child experience a new adventure everyday.

We live in a small rural community with very limited resources. Our community has lost most of local jobs to other countries. Our school system is our biggest employer and our children are our main focus. We want our children to have the same opportunities as those in the bigger cities.

We need leveled readers to help us to continue to help struggling students become leaders. With your help, we will be able to ensure that our students have a variety of reading material.

With your help and support we can help our struggling readers become confident leaders. Reading is the key to a successful future and an enriched life. HIDE

My students need 8 sets of Reading Recovery books which are leveled readers.
