My Project

Help us build an amazing collection of books that creates a curriculum for social emotional learning, supports early literacy and sparks a lifetime love of reading. These books come with sensory supports to help students stay connected to the literature. They provide classroom sets for our students with more moderate to severe special education needs.

We need this books to ignite the imagination of our students and help them learn that reading is fun.

An interesting and adaptive classroom library is instrumental in early literacy and language and communication skills. We want to inspire a community of readers today that will grow up to be leaders tomorrow.

The library we are hoping to build is easily adaptable to meet the diverse needs of students who are exceptional learners. We can differentiate the reading materials to make the books accessible to children of all abilities and the plush characters that go along with the series keep the reading more fun and encourages students stay engaged as we read together. Help us bring reading to life with an adaptable curriculum that stimulates the mind and body!
