Help me give my students science fiction novels that will inspire them to develop their literacy skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. G.'s classroom raised $385

My Project
If science fiction novels, including The 5th Wave, Red Rising, Firefight, Calamity, Armada, and Ready Player Two, are purchased for my classes, my students will be reading more and that will increase their levels of literacy. And, as these science fiction novels improve their individual literacy, they will develop as independent readers. Students with increased levels of literacy, who choose to read are more, are more likely to be interested in attending college. And, when they get to college, they are more likely to be successful. When students experience the appeal of a book that can change a student's perspective, this can create a portal of access and motivation for many marginalized students leading them to higher education in colleges and universities. As a teacher, my primary objective is to send my students to college as highly literate individuals. But, my students and I need help.
More than half of students from low‑income households
