Books For My Wonderful Bookworms!

Help me give my students a leveled Library of high-interest books to keep them engaged in reading all day long!

My Students

Do you remember falling in love with a book and wanting to read all of the books in a series? I want my students to experience the thrill of finding a series that they love and reading every book!

I am amazed at how excited my students are when we learn about new authors or when I have new books to add to our library.

You could be a part of that excitement! With your generous donation, my students will enjoy leveled readers that not only will engage them but will also be at their appropriate reading level, which is crucial for reading success. I teach reading to 25 bright and wonderful students in an area of Chicago. Some of my students receive free or reduced lunch and are so eager to learn every day.

My Project

Unfortunately, my classroom library does not meet the needs of my very excited bookworms. I am moving to a different grade next year and need all new books for older students. I can often be found at the public library three or four nights a week, checking out extra books for my students. A leveled library, filled with high interest and engaging texts, is especially important in middle school because this is the age when children become turned off by reading. With this donation, my students will be ensured best practices for reading instruction and will be well on their way to reading success!

You will not only be helping my students this year, but for all the years and readers to come.

This collection of books will become a treasured part of our classroom library. Thank you so much for your support! It is greatly appreciated!
