Boost a Love of Reading in Our School Community

Help me give my students a variety of books that they can share with the school community to help boost literacy skills and a love of reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dirado's classroom raised $390

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to read and to be read to! They want all of their friends and the school community to share their love of reading as well. My class came up with the idea of sharing the books in our library with other students through partner reading and book clubs.

Help my students build our classroom library so that we can share our resources and love of reading with the school community.

Engaging read alouds and book sets will allow the students to invite their friends and schoolmates into our room for literacy fun. Through interactive read alouds, partner reading, book clubs and sharing book recommendations, my students hope to make reading fun and boost literacy for our school community.
