Building the Love of Literacy

Help me give my students the gift of reading by providing books and floor chairs to make a cozy library where they feel excited to explore their imagination and curiosity to support their reading growth and confidence.

My Project

We are working to build and expand our classroom literacy center to inspire a love of reading and support daily reading routines for our students. In our small, remote classroom, access to high-quality books and engaging reading materials is limited. By adding new books and a comfortable reading space with floor chairs, we can create a welcoming environment where students are excited to read every day. Your donation will help us provide the resources needed to grow confident, curious, and lifelong readers. Thank you for supporting our young readers. Thank you for your support.
