My Project

My Special Education students are some of the hardestworking people I know. Every day, they come into school ready to learn all that they can. Many of them struggle with understanding what they have read. We will be using these novels next year in our Literacy classes, and having quality novels in their hands will be an asset to their learning.

High-quality novels are key to learning!

Having actual copies of these novels in their hands will make it easier for them to review and reread the text and comprehend what they are reading.

With your assistance, my students will be able to read these quality novels.
