My Project

Our district has recently adopted a new reading curriculum that will help students build strong literacy skills. While some texts are provided, the recommended companion books are not included and must be purchased separately. These additional books will enrich instruction by giving students more opportunities to engage with the concepts and skills taught in the curriculum.

By providing these high-quality texts, you’ll help bring learning to life in our classroom.

These books will strengthen reading comprehension, reinforce essential literacy skills, and inspire students to make meaningful connections with stories and ideas. Your support will help create a richer, more engaging reading experience that fosters both academic growth and a love of reading.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
