My Project
For many of my students, reading can be a barrier to success in school. They may struggle with traditional textbooks, which often contain complex vocabulary and dense text that makes comprehension difficult.
However, when provided with the right books—those that match their reading levels, interests, and learning styles—students are more likely to feel confident and engaged in the learning process.
The books selected for this project will include high-interest fiction titles that will help students build their literacy skills at a comfortable pace. These books will empower them to be more independent readers and build essential skills that will help them succeed in both high school and beyond.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
