Help me give my students reach their full when they are reading a book.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Arokium's classroom raised $978
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The benefits of reading together go far beyond learning to read.
Reading to young children is an important way to help them build language skills.
It exposes them to new words and ways of using language. It also helps them learn general information about the world, which makes it easier for them to learn about new subjects once they get to school.
The important thing is for your child to hear words and language and to have books be part of their daily life. Any steps you’re able to take can make a big difference.
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
