Books! Books! First Graders Love to Read!

My students need 3 copies each of 18 books from their favorite series, such as "A to Z Mysteries", "Cam Jansen", and "Henry and Mudge".

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Whitmore's classroom raised $233

This project is fully funded

My Students

First Graders absolutely LOVE to read books from popular book series. We have a few, but our little book worms are hungry for more, more, more!

I teach First Grade at a charter school in a very low-income district.

My students are amazing readers; most of them read well above their grade level. We want them to keep the enthusiasm they already have for reading. They especially love books from popular series.

My Project

My students need books from their favorite series: "A to Z Mysteries," "Cam Jansen," "Henry and Mudge," "Magic Treehouse," Junie B," "Little Bill," and "Fairy Magic." With new books from these series, my students will be even more excited about reading. We will use these books during Reader's Workshop in class, and students will be able to read them at home with their parents. They will be so excited to have enough of these sought-after books to go around!

We need your help!

Kids want to read books that they can connect with. These series books are the perfect solution. Donate to this project and inspire these First Graders to be readers for life!
