Rooted in Reading: Helping Young Minds Grow

Help me give my students engaging books and meaningful literacy lessons that will help them grow as confident readers and thinkers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shank's classroom raised $457

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. They come to school each day ready to explore the world through reading, but they need the right tools to help them blossom.

With the Rooted in Reading program, my students will have access to high-quality literature, hands-on activities, and structured lessons that support reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing.

These resources bring stories to life and help children connect what they read to their own experiences.

Many of my students do not have access to rich literacy materials at home. By funding this project, you are helping me build a classroom where books are the heart of learning, and where every child feels empowered to grow as a reader.

Thank you for helping my students fall in love with reading!
