My Project

Dear Donors,

Please help me give my students gel pens so that when we are reading, we can underline important and relevant details.

My students love to read and I am trying to give them tools that will help them grow as readers. When I ask them to read and they have fun and colorful pens they pay closer attention to the facts.

The pens serve as an incentive and when they have them they seem more focused and prepared than when they don't. Please help us become better readers. Thank you in advance for reading our proposal.

Regards,

Ms. Torres
