Reading Is Good for the Soul

Help me give my students class sets of books to replace the copies that have been loved to the point that some are falling apart.

My Project

Our students love novel studies and the activities that go with them. Even if they have read the book on their own in the past, there is always something new when reading it with the entire class.

Over time, some books are read and loved so much that it can be difficult to even open them without pages falling out or the cover falling off.

Due to this, we are trying to replace some of our class sets of books with copies that make all students feel special rather than give them a book that is falling apart.
