My Students

Help my students learn to love to read by reading books that will make them wonder, laugh, cry and become better human beings.

My students are English Language Learners who need to be inspired to love to read.

They are an amazing bunch and would really like to have their own copy of the books they are reading. They are tactile visual learners. Some of my students learn better from having the experience of reading their own book, even if it is read whole class because they need a sense of ownership of their reading.

My Project

These books appeal to my students and will help to foster a love of reading that is necessary for them to become successful in the real world. Please help my students achieve this goal by donating. These titles will bring a sense of wonder into the classroom that my students are craving.

This project is very important because children need to learn to love to read, because it is through literature that we see our own reflection.

It is through reading to learn that students truly make the most progress and eventually become independent.
