Fostering a Love of Reading: Distance Learning Edition
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
I have such an amazing group of students. Being a part of a community school has helped them foster empathy, kindness, and a sense of belonging that will help them be successful in everything they do in the future.
My students are also avid readers, consuming any piece of text they can get their hands on! They are showing great resilience in the wake of this pandemic. They have shifted to online learning conducted through Google Classroom. Due to the restrictions placed in our area, they do not have access to libraries or book stores. The majority of them have read through all of the books they have at home and are in need of more text!
My Project
Due to the restrictions placed in our area, they do not have access to libraries or book stores. They love to read and are quickly running out of material.
My partner and I have been delivering our own, personal books to kiddos during this time, but we would love if they could have some books of their own! We have been sharing a survey with them that includes the books we have so they can borrow books that they are interested in. I plan on doing the same thing with this, however I will be surprising them by allowing them to keep these books instead!
Our goal is to give each student 3-4 books. I want to continue to help them foster a love of reading!
