My Project

As a special education teacher, I see firsthand how often my students are given low-interest, overly simplified books simply because they are perceived as incapable of reading grade-level material. Many of them have dyslexia or other learning differences, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have access to exciting, engaging books that reflect their interests and abilities.

My students are bright, curious, and capable in their own way.

I believe that when they are exposed to high-quality books, they not only develop a love for reading but also build the confidence they need to succeed in all areas of life. However, our classroom library lacks the diverse, engaging materials that truly capture their interest.

With your support, I can provide my students with books that will inspire them, challenge them, and make reading an enjoyable experience. Your donation will help me build a library of accessible, high-interest books that my students will be excited to read.

Every book you help us add to our classroom will make a difference. Thank you for believing in my students and helping them discover the joy of reading!
