Help me give my students a love for reading and build strong literacy skills, I’m working to expand our classroom library with engaging and age-appropriate books that reflect our students' interests and diverse backgrounds.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. BARRY's classroom raised $616
This project is fully funded
My Project
If this project is fully funded, my students will gain access to a wide variety of engaging, age-appropriate books that reflect their interests, cultures, and reading levels. These new titles will be used for independent reading, book clubs, and classroom discussions to strengthen comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking. Having access to high-interest books in our classroom will encourage reluctant readers, support developing readers, and challenge advanced readers—all while helping every student build a deeper love for reading. Your support will directly impact their academic growth and daily learning experience.
More than half of 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
