We're Hooked on Reading... So We Need More Books!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
I teach at a charter school in New Jersey where students go to school ten hours a day because they are climbing the mountain to college. On average, students enter 5th grade about 2 years behind grade level in reading. By 7th grade, most students have closed the achievement gap.
At the beginning of the school year, I spent a lot of time investing students in the importance (and fun) of reading. Many students have already read over ten books, and they are looking for more high interest and challenging books to read.
Your donation of new classroom library books will help keep the reading momentum going. I've always believed that the best way to raise kids' reading levels is to get them hooked on books.
Your donation will help my students to become life long lovers of reading while, at the same time, helping them to become academically prepared for high school and college.
