I love that my students really enjoy reading every day. They are developing an excellent habit that will really help them make essential connections to the books that they read. We are in desperate need of a new bookshelf for our classroom library that will help organize and exhibit our variety of books.
The new bookshelf will help get my students interested in choosing a book that will allow them to use their imagination, meet different characters, and explore new places.
Reading for fun has a lot of educational benefits, but most importantly, it helps encourage a child's love for reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
