My Project
As a kindergarten teacher, one of my greatest joys is introducing young learners to the magical world of reading. However, many of my students face challenges when it comes to reading comprehension, fluency, and engagement. That's where Piggie and Gerald come in!
Mo Willems’ beloved Piggie and Gerald series is the perfect resource to captivate my students and help them develop a love for reading.
These books feature humorous, relatable characters and simple but rich text that will not only improve their reading skills but also foster their imagination and spark their curiosity.
Your donation will make a lasting impact on my students' literacy development and love of reading. Together, we can help these young learners become confident readers while sharing the magic of Piggie and Gerald with them!
More than half of students from low‑income households
