Building Better Readers

Help me give my students books to read and magnetic letters to practice spelling!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnson's classroom raised $206

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to read, but they need new books to read. They have already read most of the books that I have in their ability level, and they are getting bored with what we have. I would like to give them some new books to help re-ignite their love for reading. The best way to help students become better readers is by providing books that interest them and make them want to read.

I am also asking for magnetic letters to help us with letter sounds, decoding, and becoming better spellers.

My students need hands-on materials to engage them in learning.
