Chapter Book Adventures: Empowering 5th Graders Through Reading!
Help me give my students engaging chapter books that spark imagination, build vocabulary, and boost reading comprehension and expand our library selection.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Help my 5th grade students fall in love with reading by providing engaging chapter books that spark imagination, build vocabulary, and boost reading comprehension.
My students are curious, enthusiastic, and eager to grow as readers.
They are at a critical stage in their literacy journey, transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. To support this, I want to provide a rich collection of chapter books that are both high-interest and age-appropriate.
Our classroom library is in need of fresh, engaging titles. With your help, I plan to purchase a variety of chapter books that reflect diverse voices and experiences, including genres like realistic fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, and adventure. Books such as Because of Winn-Dixie, Frindle, can make a lasting impact on their reading lives.
These books will be used in small reading groups, independent reading time, and book clubs. They will help my students grow in fluency, comprehension, and most importantly—develop a lifelong love of reading.
What We Need:
Sets of engaging 5th grade chapter books (multiple copies)
Book bins or shelves for classroom organization
Why It Matters:
Reading is the foundation of all learning. By donating to this project, you’re helping build confident, capable readers and opening up new worlds for them through the pages of a book.
