My Project

One of my students' favorite parts of the day is reading. My students love meeting characters and going on adventures with them, especially if the books are part of a series.

Help me give my students books to read with characters who look like them.

The majority of the books in our classroom library are outdated, torn, and do not reflect the population of my students. With your support, I will be able to give my students books that include more diverse characters. I believe this will help my students become even more engaged with reading.
