My students need a class set of Ready, Freddy! Tooth Trouble and My Weird School for independent reading.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vega's classroom raised $261

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 Students
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
by Dr. Seuss.
I love this quote because a book can take the reader to a magical land or across the globe.
My school is located in the city of Camden.
The city Camden is known as one of the poorest cities in the nation whose public schools are well below the national and state standards. In order to further embed the college dreams in our youth and bring up the state standard, I believe it starts with reading. It is vital for students to be exposed to a good literary text whether it's on a Kindle book or plain, old paperback.
My Project
The Weird School Series collection consist of 21 different books. Each book varies from first grade to fifth grade reading level. Therefore, I am able to pair the Lexile level with the students. The Weird School Series will have comprehension questions for the students during independent reading. Meanwhile, Ready Freddy Tooth Trouble will be read together as a class in order to introduce key literary skills such as character, main idea, plot, and etc.
The school does not provide any supplies or reading books to my students.
It is extremely difficult to elevate students' comprehension without books. By having these two sets, it will give my students an opportunity to fall in love with reading and learn literary skills.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
