Help me give my students the opportunity to build their foundational reading skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. V.'s classroom raised $672
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
In a middle school, reading far below grade level can be discouraging and difficult. The classroom libraries throughout a middle school are full of higher level texts. My students are reading on a Kindergarten-Second grade equivalent. We need to build our library full of books they can read and explore.
In order to build lifelong readers, one must provide a library full of high interest-low level texts.
To best meet grade level expectations, students need access to texts at their independent and instruction levels. Your donation can greatly impact the reading needs of my classroom.
Nearly all 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
