"I teach in a low income, high ESL, high needs school. I have a second grade class with 25 students.

While I have some books, they are pretty beat up after years of wear. Students need access to books that look like library and bookstore books, not just program texts that they see in school.

With high quality books, my students will be drawn to read more of a variety of books, thereby becoming better readers.

You can make it possible for lower income students to have high value literacy experiences. HIDE

My students need 29 high quality children's literature and also nonfiction books including book titles such as "Goodnight Moon" and "Roderick Rules". The cost of this proposal is $513, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
