Developing a Love of Reading

Help me give my students more opportunities to enjoy literature while improving their reading skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rode''s classroom raised $166

This project is fully funded

My Project

Jan Brett is an American illustrator and writer of children's picture books. Her colorful, detailed depictions of a wide variety of animals and human cultures range from all over the globe.

We would love to have some of these enduring books in our classroom library.

The books honor the cultures of many of our students and educate the students about countries and traditions far from the United States

With the right resources, my students can grow into confident, independent readers who look forward to picking up a book and exploring new worlds.

Your donation will go directly toward building a classroom library filled with diverse, captivating stories that bring reading to life. Together, we can inspire a lifelong love for reading and set my students on a path to success.
