Guiding Low-Level Readers To College With New Books!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Many of my low-level readers are college bound. They just need an extra push to get them there. Being able to put books that help build stamina in the hands of those kids can only further prepare them for the world after high school.
Unfortunately, our high school's media center hasn't had funding in the last five years. The titles that the students have to choose from are woefully out-of-date.
I would like to begin a lending library in my classroom for these students. By having a wealth of interesting titles at their fingertips, my students will have the opportunity to increase not only the amount of time they spend on reading, but also raise their reading levels.
Your help will ensure that students like mine get every opportunity to discover the joy of reading, while increasing their vocabulary and stamina. Thank you!
