My Project
In our Title 1 school environment, many students have limited access to reading resources at home. Book Taco would give all our students equal opportunities to grow as readers.
The subscription would serve as a valuable tool to support our reading curriculum and help create lifelong readers.
This investment would support multiple educational goals:
* Improving reading comprehension
* Increasing reading engagement
* Building student confidence
* Supporting individual learning paths
* Providing data to track student progress
As a teacher at our Title 1 school, I see daily how important it is to foster a love of reading early. Book Taco offers several key advantages:
* Builds reading excitement through friendly competition
* Allows students to track their own reading progress
* Provides quizzes to check understanding
* Offers a wide variety of book choices
* Helps students set and achieve personal reading goals
Our second graders need to build reading stamina now to be prepared for the increased demands of third grade. Book Taco provides the motivation and structure to help them develop these crucial skills. Thank you for considering this request.
