My Project

Reading is a required life skill, it is not just academic in nature. Student's who have difficulty reading, also have difficulty across all subjects, making school the last place they want to be. These students often feel inadequate and can become discipline problems.

This "project" will provide a wide range of early reading books that allow the students to use their new skills in a real-word application and help them build their confidence and reading skills!

My goal is to offer a wide range of instructional level reading material for my students to read at their leisure and foster a life long love of reading and learning.

Thank you in advance for considering to donate to my project!
