I pull small group reading every day, I see my student's faces light up when they each get to hold a real book and not just a photocopy of pages. Sadly, this happens once or twice a year. I see 3-4 groups during a normal school day and the reading levels of each group vary, making it very expensive to constantly buy 5-6 books every time my students finish one. By helping my class get these new books you will bring excitement, focus, and engagement into their reading blocks. My students truly love to read and deserve to have these books to get lost in, learn from, and enjoy!
