As an educator in a low-income rural school in Indiana, I realize that my strongest obstacle is acquiring materials that aren't supplied through district funds.
"Read, Read, Read"....Said the teacher. But what if there aren't any books that the student likes or that are on the student's reading level? The vast majority of my students struggle with reading and are showing significant interest in practicing reading skills.
I need a variety of lower level literature for my students to choose from. With a variety of reading levels and topics, these books would provide my students an opportunity to choose interesting books on the level on which they read without frustration.
With a donations from you, an entire classroom of students, and many classrooms to come, will enjoy reading and learn reading skills that will help them from now on. I've purchases many books and will continue to purchase as many as I can; however, these students need a lot of literature quickly. I would truly love the opportunity to offer these books as soon as possible.
More than half of students from low‑income households
