My Project

My students are eager, curious, and energetic readers who love a good challenge! To build on their enthusiasm for reading, our school is launching a "Battle of the Books" competition. This program brings students together in collaborative teams to read a selection of high-interest books, discuss themes and characters, and test their knowledge in a fun, quiz-bowl-style competition.

To make this competition a success, we need sets of the competition titles so every student has access to the books.

Reading these books will not only prepare them for the competition, but will also expand their vocabulary, boost their reading comprehension, and foster teamwork and critical thinking.

Your support will help provide these exciting titles, giving my students the opportunity to collaborate, celebrate reading, and discover the joy of friendly academic competition. Thank you for helping us inspire a lifelong love of reading!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
