Matching Books to the Reader

Help me give my students the book that makes them never want to put another down.

My Project

Help me reach students that are reluctant to pick up a book!

Many students that are struggling readers just haven't found the book that sparks their journey.

There is a book out there for every student!

My hope is to match each student with a book throughout the year. These books will allow students to choose from a wider variety of genre- at their own grade level and at their own interest level.

The project includes books for struggling, disengaged, and language learning readers. Each speaks to students interests and backgrounds. Many are known favorites among the school.
