Help me give my students books to read for their leisure time of the school day.

My Project
My students love to read and always ask about books they can borrow to read and bring back since they do not have library support time. Their zeal to read with the language barriers is admirable and I try to lead by example. Having these books will give them a sense of self-efficacy in leisurely reading as a part of their daily schedule as opposed to only for academic purposes.
My dream is for all my students to have reading as a daily routine as an alternative to technology use for fun.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
