Help Foster the Love of Reading!

Help me give my students new literature circle books, and foster a love of reading. My students will have more opportunities to read and discuss books that will broaden their love of literature.

My Project

Book Clubs and Literature Circles are essential for kids who love to read! With this donation, you will help us provide more books for students to choose from.

Students choose a book they are interested in, read it, and then work together in groups to share insights and observations about literature.

To watch this unfold and to see kids find a book that sparks a love of reading is something that cannot be described! Thank you in advance on behalf of my students. You are helping them, not only with your donation, but you are also modeling what it means to help others, and giving them a real-life lesson in the importance of giving to others.
