My Project
The advanced reading materials I’m requesting will greatly enhance my students’ learning by providing the challenges they need to develop their literacy skills further. These books will encourage critical thinking, improve comprehension, and foster a deeper engagement with literature. My goal for this project is to ensure that every student continues to grow academically while nurturing a lifelong love for reading. What makes my students special is their enthusiasm for learning and their diverse backgrounds, which create a vibrant classroom environment.
With the right resources, I am confident they can achieve remarkable progress.
More than half of students from low‑income households
