Dig into a Good Book

Help me give my students fun, engaging books and a love of reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Young's classroom raised $380

This project is fully funded

My Project

In first grade, students are just starting to learn how to read and are getting so excited opening up books. They are starting to develop a love of reading! Please help me add more books to my library as well as books for me to read aloud to the class. It has been proven that the best way to improve reading is by reading and listening to others read.

Students need fun and engaging books to help them develop a love of reading!

Donating to this project will gives students access to fun and engaging books! And in turn help them develop a love of reading!
