Book boxes are used in Daily 5 classrooms to promote intrinsic learning through choice. Students will be able to pick a few books that fit their reading level, and place them in their book boxes for continued use. This choice encourages children to become active participants in their education. While having free choice of good reading material might seem like a small thing, it has a large impact on how children develop the intrinsic motivation necessary to become life long learners. My students will be able to use their boxes daily; building their stamina, comprehension level, and love of reading. Your donation will make many children, in an underserved community, extremely happy by giving them the opportunity to escape through literature.
