Mrs. Edwards from Whiteville NC is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Simply Reading

Help me give my students their books to help them find that spark and love for reading that will leave them wanting to read more and more each day while teaching them lessons to help them become their best.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students enjoy- I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunity to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind - I have watched them in the past months of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their grade level.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
