Books for Reluctant Readers!

Help me give my students books to help finish out the school year strong!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dalton's classroom raised $710

My Project

For this project, I am looking to get new books into my students' hands! I am looking for new mentor texts to help support student learning through reading! These books will help students finish the year strong!

I am also looking to get new books for my reluctant readers!

I have several students who are just not into reading! I am hoping by getting new books that are based on their interests, like sports and animals, they will be more willing to read!

Lastly, I am looking for some items to finish the year! These are things like pencils, Expo markers, party bags, and tubs for organization!

Thanks for supporting my students and helping us finish the school year strong!
