My Project

These books and materials are all high interest low reading so that our newcomers and low readers can get something of interest on their grade level, but can read and enjoy!

Our scholars LOVE books, but need choices that fit their needs.

Your generous donation to our library project will colorfully open up the world of reading to them! One of the keys to helping struggling readers is to provide them with books that they can and want to read. Our selection includes graphic novels and books that have engaging text, short chapters, controlled vocabulary, discussion questions, and online resources. Struggling readers will enjoy reading books about popular topics, such as sports and superheroes.
