Reading Riot! Books for Reluctant Readers
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
Our school is an urban middle school serving almost 600 students in grades 6-9. Our library is only 2.5 years old, after being closed for nearly a decade.
We have one of the most diverse populations in Oakland, including a specialized program to meet the needs of recently arrived immigrant and refugee students. Our students, in our special education program, are some of the most devoted library regulars. The majority of our population receives free and reduced-price lunch.
Our students are so excited to have a school library, and check out over 3 books per student each month. We love that students feel the library is their space to explore, connect, imagine, and create.
My Project
Help us foster a love for reading through high-interest books. Almost 75% of our students are reading several years below grade-level. Many do not see themselves as readers. We want all students to be able to come into the library and find a book they will love!
Help get books into the hands of students that will motivate struggling readers to discover the fun in reading.
Our students ask for graphic novels, funny books, scary books, and manga. These books will go a long way in shaping the reading identities of our students and creating a foundation for the love of learning.
