These books will add to my classroom library so we can read the books together as a class. Reading as a class builds flency and really gets my students engaged and interested in reading. My students are some of the most special kids in the country. We are a small, rural area and your contribution to my class means so much.
Both of these novels are childhood favorites of my own that can take my students on an adventure like no other where they learn valuable lessons.
Thank you for your donation to my classroom so every child has access to a great book and has the opportunity to become a great reader.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
