My Project
Help! I've been officially diagnosed with IBS—Impulsive Book-Reading Syndrome! Symptoms include uncontrollable excitement around books, random bursts of storytelling, and the sudden urge to create engaging lessons that get my students hooked on reading too. The problem? My students have caught it, and now they’re constantly asking for fresh, creative book-related activities that I can barely keep up with!
That’s where Teachers Pay Teachers comes in—it's like the ultimate medicine for this reading "pandemic" in my classroom.
A gift card would allow me to stock up on book-themed activities, reading comprehension games, and other fun resources to cure my students' (and my) relentless need for new reading adventures.
Your support would not only help us manage this delightful "syndrome" but also keep our classroom a buzzing hive of enthusiastic readers. Thank you for being part of our literary treatment plan!
More than half of students from low‑income households
