My Project

We are looking for books that will get kids excited about reading! This project aims to enhance literacy and foster a love for reading among elementary students by providing age-appropriate, engaging books to schools in need. By equipping students with access to diverse, enriching literature, we hope to improve their reading skills, spark creativity, and encourage lifelong learning.

Goals:

Enhance Literacy Skills: Equip students with books that will improve their reading skills, expand their vocabulary, and boost comprehension abilities.

Foster a Love for Reading: Provide engaging, diverse books that students find interesting and enjoyable, encouraging them to read for pleasure.

Increase Access to Books: Ensure that every child has access to a home library by providing at least five books to each student.

Promote Equity in Education: Address disparities in literacy resources by focusing on students in low-income areas where books may be scarce.
