In order for students to grow as readers and claim rock star status, they not only need access to amazing books they need a space that is inviting. Lamps will provide lighting and a general calming effect for students to settle into their books. When the lights are dimmed it gives students permission to escape, a path to reading. Books that engage struggling readers are so important. Struggling readers will often pick up a comic book because the pictures and visuals are less intimidating than a typical book. Specifically, graphic novels, wordless books and first in series books are excellent ways to help a struggling reader to find success. With these resources funded by generous donors, every student can read like a rock star.
