Building Future Leaders Through Reading!

Help me give my students new books to read. Due to budget cuts, we can't afford as many new books for our school.

My Project

My students are a lovable bunch who are outspoken as well as inquisitive. The books that they are interested in reading are vast and I'm only beginning to uncover what genres will keep their interests (other than graphic novels). We have quite a few bins of graphic novels already but my students could always use more. Books that have been reprinted into graphic novel form like The Babysitters Club will keep them engaged.

To keep my students interested in reading, I want to have a fresh supply of books.

I have added many series books to this list as series books are easier to get them hooked on reading. My class also consists of English Language Learners so I have added more Elephant and Piggie, as well as Pete the Cat, to my list as well.

I hope with your donation that we are able to continue to foster their love of reading!
