Carrying Our Learning: Book Pouches for Growing Readers!

Help me give my students take-home reading pouches and reading aids to reinforce good reading habits at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $165

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are blossoming readers who are excited to bring books home to share with their families. To help build strong literacy habits, we send leveled readers home each week, but without proper book pouches, many of these precious books end up lost, damaged, or forgotten.

I’m requesting canvas book pouches that are sturdy and reusable.

These pouches will help my students take responsibility for their learning by keeping their books organized and safe as they travel between home and school. With durable pouches, my students can focus on what matters most: reading, sharing, and growing.

Most of my students are in the early stages of learning how to read and benefit immensely from daily practice at home. These book bags will not only protect the materials but also promote independence and a sense of pride in their learning.

Your support will make a lasting difference in helping my students become confident, lifelong readers. Thank you for helping us take our reading to go!
