Developing Readers with Decodable Books!

Help me give my students books to help boost their confidence as they become readers!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Willette's classroom raised $280

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have a lot of emerging/developing readers in my classroom. Also, I have a lot of students learning English. I need books to match these needs.

I need decodable books that will enable my students to use their phonics skills as they work to become and feel like readers!

These books are new, bright, colorful and cover a wide variety of topics and interests so students will feel excited to pick them up and try to read!

Please consider a donation so I can put books into the hands of students who need it the most. Thank you!
