Help me give my students books that spark their interest so they can fall in love with reading at school and home.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Steger's classroom raised $492
This project is fully funded
My Project
Independent reading is important because it builds on reading stamina, student ownership of their reading process, and develops the habits needed to be lifelong readers. Please help my students become lifelong readers. This project will provide new books that are relevant to our student's interests.
This project offers books that match student interests!
When a child learns to read, each child goes at his or her own pace. Not one student is the same. Not one student's interests are the same either. That's why it's so important to have variety in a classroom library. Let's get them excited about reading!
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
