My Project

As a third-grade teacher, I know that reading is fundamental to a child's education and personal growth. This year, I want to create an inviting reading environment that encourages my students to explore new worlds through literature. I am seeking funding to purchase a selection of captivating read-aloud books that will inspire a love for reading in my classroom.

Why This Matters

Reading aloud to students not only improves their literacy skills but also enhances their listening comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking. By providing diverse and engaging books, I can help my students develop a passion for reading that will last a lifetime.
