Reading for Enjoyment

My students need 25 copies each of 5 titles, including "The Tale of Despereaux" and "Maniac Magee".

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. K.'s classroom raised $1,121

This project is fully funded

I teach 5th grade at a low income school. Many of my students come from families that have low income and have low formal education.

My students would benefit from various sets of novels to read during their leveled reading block! We are limited as to the resources we have and students sometimes have to re-read books when they get to fifth grade.

Having sets of novels that are new and they have never read will excite the students about reading! I would love to be able to foster a love for reading in the students!

By making a donation to this project, you will be making it possible for my students to improve their reading ability with new materials they have not already been exposed too. Help encourage students to read!!!
