My Project

With your donation, students will be embarking on a special project: an all-school Book Club! Each family will receive a copy of the same book, and will read it at home throughout the month. Reading aloud at home is a valuable activity as it better prepares students to be effective readers, and it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity.

When children don’t have access to books or have family members regularly read aloud to them, their reading scores dive far below the national average.

By the time they’re 3 years old, children from low-income families have been exposed to 30 million fewer words than their more affluent counterparts. Children who read at home also score higher in math. With our low-income population, not many students have books in their home. This Read to Me! project will have children at all grade levels listening to the same book.

Throughout the month, everyone will be talking about the book, and the students will take pride in knowing and anticipating the details of the story. "When a whole school reads a book, there's a lot to talk about!" We are building a Community of Readers at our school!
