I need books & materials to help kids who are really struggling with learning to read. They need help and support to become strong readers!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I work at a Title 1 (high-poverty) school, teaching kids who struggle with learning to read. By 9 years old, some still don't know all the alphabet letters & sounds. This is a 911! When kids lack early reading skills, they quickly fall behind; the older they get, the harder it is to catch up.
My school doesn't have a library (not kidding!), so my students don't get much exposure to books.
The few classroom books I have aren't meant for struggling readers. My students need books & materials that teach EARLY READING/PHONICS skills (alphabet letters, sounds, rhyming, vowels, syllables). Every bit helps!
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
