My Project

To enhance the reading abilities of the students we serve, I am seeking your support to acquire graphic novels, organizational tools, and educational games that will make a significant impact alongside our literacy programs.

I am deeply committed to improving literacy outcomes for my students and have seen firsthand how engaging materials like graphic novels can ignite a passion for reading in young minds.

The books I am asking for not only capture their imagination but also help improve comprehension and vocabulary skills.

Additionally, I aim to provide my students with organizational tools such a new book shelf and an office chair for our small group rotation table. These resources will assist them on their learning journey.

I recognize the value of incorporating educational games into the classroom. Games designed to reinforce reading skills can be both educational and enjoyable for students, encouraging them to practice their literacy skills in a playful and interactive manner.

Your contribution will directly impact the lives of these children by providing them with the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond. Thank you for considering this request. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of children by strengthening their reading abilities and opening doors to a brighter future.

Grades 6-8
