A World Without Books is a World Without Imagination.
Help me give my students the chance to expand and enrich a passion for reading by giving them stories they will actually identify with.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As an English teacher, I have always tried to pass along my passion for reading to my students. I do this by offering books that are not only age appropriate, but reimagine classics, or are presented in a visual format that awakens their interest for immersing themselves in fictional worlds that can also help them become creative writers down the road.
I am looking to grow my classroom library with books that invite and encourage students to read more, become better critical thinkers and writers!
I use many of the books in my classroom library during curriculum-based lessons as examples/alternatives to core readings, giving students a different perspective.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
