Help me give my students high-interest fiction and non-fiction texts to boost their reading skills!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Cohan's classroom raised $513
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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
I am writing to appeal for your support in acquiring diverse fiction and non-fiction books for students with special needs. It is important that we provide our students with a range of reading materials that reflect the diversity of our society. Reading books that feature characters from diverse backgrounds helps students with special needs to develop a greater understanding and empathy for people who may be different from themselves. Additionally, having access to a variety of reading materials helps students to develop their language and literacy skills, and can foster a love of reading that will serve them well throughout their lives. Your donation will make a real difference to these students, and help them to achieve their full potential.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
