Reluctant Reader Literacy

Help me give my students a sports library to encourage the reluctant readers to enjoy literacy!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Raub's classroom raised $598

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students and I have tremendous gratitude and appreciation for donors' kindness and generosity when they choose to give towards our classroom materials! These novels and materials will have such an incredible impact on the reluctant readers.

I once had a teacher who said you will encourage a lifetime reader if you can introduce a student to a book they cannot put down.

It was true for me, and I hope that it will be true for them with these selections. I believe that with your generosity my students will find their love of reading where they cannot put their book down. I look forward to seeing students reading novels of their own choosing!
