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 Project
The books on this list represent some of the most beloved book series on my bookshelf. From "The Belles" to "Skyward," my students devour these books. The problem, however, is that over the years my students have devoured the first books in these series quickly, and the books on this list have never returned.
I want every student to have the opportunity to dive into great literature trilogies and series, and to dive into these books, they need access to the book #1s.
The books on this list will bring each set back to life, giving a new group of students a chance to read and love some great books.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
