Growing Readers

Help me give my students a more diverse library with more graphic novels and chapter books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wischusen's classroom raised $409

This project is fully funded

My Project

Second grade is an extremely pivotal time for readers! As we continue our phonics and reading instruction, my students are growing at a very fast rate!

In order to support my readers as they continue to grow, I would love to be able to build and diversify our library for them.

While we have a large number of picture books, we do not have a large number of chapter books or graphic novels. This project would give us both of those and would allow students to explore different styles of books.
