My Students

My middle school students come from lower income families that struggle meeting the basic needs of housing, clothing, health care and other basic needs. Extra money for books are not available to my middle school students. They love to go to the library and check out books each week, but many of the books are above their reading level.

My students average two years behind grade level and need every encouragement to read.

My Project

Many of my middle school students give up on reading and never finish a book. Can you imagine never having the joy of finishing a book? Please help me bring the joy of reading to my low readers with some early chapter books that they can successfully finish and comprehend.

With these books, I can put a on-reading level book in each of my students hands and encourage them to successful finish a book.

Think of the power of completing something that usually is beyond their grasp. What power for students!

Mrs. Brown
Grades 6-8
