Help me give my students a diverse, high-interest classroom library to help high school students develop a love for reading, strengthen literacy skills, and build empathy through access to engaging books.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As a high school teacher, one of my greatest joys is seeing students discover a love for reading. Over the past year, I’ve witnessed the incredible transformation that comes when students find books that resonate with their interests and experiences. Whether it’s a reluctant reader diving into their first novel or an avid reader finding their next favorite series, these moments have ignited a passion for reading in my classroom.
To keep this momentum alive, I am seeking to expand our classroom library with a diverse collection of engaging, high-interest books.
These books will include a variety of genres, voices, and topics to ensure that every student can find something that speaks to them. By providing access to new and exciting titles, I hope to empower students to grow as readers—developing not only their literacy skills but also their empathy, creativity, and critical thinking.
These new books will do more than entertain; they will challenge students to explore new ideas, connect with different perspectives, and discover the joy of getting lost in a story. With your support, we can continue to fuel the passion for reading that has already begun and inspire a lifelong love of learning in our students.
