My Project

Some of my students have never finished a book on their own. They struggle to find and finish books because they have no idea what to look for. After spending the last few months learning about my student's likes and dislikes, I have picked a few books that I would like to share with them. They enjoy good storytelling, relatable main characters, and lots of adventure.

By donating to this project, you will be helping my students discover a love of reading.

They will enjoy these stories for years to come, I am sure of it!
