Mrs. Boyd’s Classroom Edit display name

The students I have described have few if any books in their homes. They have missed out on substantial brain development and language development before they ever reach my classroom. What if I could empower these parents to at the very least read aloud to their children just 15 minutes a day? I believe I would see dramatic positive effects by the time they reached my second grade classroom. What if I partnered with our local pediatrician's office to make sure books are in our disadvantaged homes and the hands of their children? I believe I would do less remediating and more enrichment in the classroom. I need funds to purchase those books to be distributed at well-baby visits.
