My students are ready for the next chapter in their reading journey. As they will soon begin their middle school experience, they are eager for more challenging, engaging books that will continue to develop their skills and spark their curiosity. The chapter books I’m requesting will provide them with the opportunity to dive deeper into stories, expand their vocabulary, and strengthen their comprehension in a way that keeps them excited about reading.
My goal for this project is to ensure my readers have access to books that match their abilities and interests.
By providing them with richer, more complex texts, I can help foster a lifelong love of reading and learning.
My students are incredibly engaged, eager to learn, and always looking for their next literary adventure. With your support, I can give them the books they need to continue growing as readers and thinkers. Thank you for helping us turn the page toward a brighter future!
