I am so lucky to have a class of 19 third graders this year. They are turning into avid readers and I am quickly realizing that my hodgepodge library will not work for much longer. We need more up to date, interesting books for them to independently read.
The research is clear: if children cannot read proficiently by the end of third grade, they face daunting hurdles to success in school and beyond.
Third grade marks a pivotal point in reading. I would like help getting good books into my students' hands so ALL of my students will end at a third grade reading level or above.
My Project
These third graders are readers! They are reading and reading! Most students are reading 3 books a week. These book donations would provide students with lots of books to read through. At the rate they are reading, they'll read through our current selection shortly. I have plenty of 4th through 6th grade books but need more 1st through third grade books.
It is important to have books that they are interested in reading at their level.
Again, the more they read, at the correct level, the better readers they will become. Thank you in advance for anything you are able to give!
