Fourth-Graders Love Novels!

Help me give my students a chance to read novels. My students come from a Title I school and a very underprivileged area. My co-teacher and I would greatly appreciate your support!

My Project

Please help us!

Our fourth-grade students attend a Title I school district with huge learning gaps.

Many of our students need help falling in love with reading. Spark the flame if you will. These novels can help us make a huge difference in their literacy skills and reading comprehension.

We take a break here and there from our curriculum to read fun novels that bring joy to reading again. Stories BFG, Frindle, and Tales of a Fourth-Grade Nothing are the exact books our students should be reading.

We would greatly appreciate it!
