Help! My Students Have Fallen in Love with Reading!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
Do you remember what it was like the first time you met a character who reminded you of you? My students are starting to discover characters who mirror their tough circumstances, but we need more books to feed their growing appetites!
My students come from all walks of life in our very diverse Virginia town. We enjoy reading and writing together as well as using these skills to analyze the world around us. These students attend a large, comprehensive high school with many resources, but they don't enough books to keep them hooked on reading!
My Project
Since the school year began, it has been amazing to see students complaining about reading to complaining when our silent sustained reading time is over. Your gift will allow students to continue to see reading as a life-long, rewarding, and engaging activity.
My students need books that will continue to hook them on reading. Your donation will serve students for years to come as they can find those characters and themes that make them sit up and say, "I'm not the only one!" Students need mirrors of themselves to engage in reading, and you can give it to them. How cool!
