Help me give my students a welcoming reading space where they can curl up with a good book, develop a love for reading, and feel at home in their learning environment.

My Project
Middle school students in an urban setting often lack access to quality materials. Please help us spark a love for reading with shelves full of high-interest series books so that my students can independently read books at their level. Our students are often reading below grade level and need access to reading materials that will encourage them to pick up a book. Reading more will increase their vocabulary and comprehension. We have limited funds to purchase new materials for our class and my students are always asking for a good book!
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
