I want to inspire a love of reading in each student. I teach in a New York City school. We do not have a school library. Instead, the students can only shop for books in our classroom library.
My first grade students are just learning to read and getting better everyday.
They are excited each day to visit our class library and “shop” for books.
Unfortunately, our library is hardly filled so students are limited to the amount of books to borrow. The choices are outdated. I would love to offer more titles and genres for them to choose from. I love to see them excited to read and I want them to continue to love it!
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
