I am asking for a class set of chess games. Playing chess not only teaches problem solving skills, but also improves reading and math skills. As a former chess club leader, I have seen excitement and the joy of success students experience when playing chess. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Children don't have to be the brightest, strongest or fastest to play chess; every child can know success while playing chess. Playing chess promotes brain growth, teaches planning and foresight and improves memory. Every child deserves a chance for that.
