My Project

I am reaching out to seek your support in enhancing our classroom library with a selection of decodable books specifically designed for struggling readers.

As you may know, students who face challenges in reading often require structured texts that align with their developing skills.

Incorporating engaging and age-appropriate decodable books into our library will provide my students with the opportunity to practice reading independently. These books are not only crucial for building literacy skills but also play a significant role in fostering self-esteem and a love for learning.

By providing access to new and exciting titles, we can create an environment that encourages confidence and success. The right resources will empower our students to tackle reading challenges head-on, transforming their learning experience.

If you are interested in contributing or have any suggestions for funding sources, please let me know. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our young learners.

Thank you for considering this important initiative.
