Catchy Titles for Eager Readers!

Help me give my students the gift of reading with exciting reading books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McCarty's classroom raised $345

My Project

Help me provide new, relevant and popular book titles for my students. Most of my students are at risk students who are not exposed to books at home, so they don’t have the privilege to read at home.

My goal is to provide a classroom library that has a variety of reading levels and interest for every student at their independent reading level that the students will be allowed to read in the classroom and take home to read.

The expression on their faces show their excitement when they find a book that interests them. I have chosen each book with my students in mind. My students will be able to choose books to read in the classroom and to take home and read, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading and help them excel academically.
