Help me give my students incentives to continue reading in The Great Book Challenge!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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 Students
I am a teacher at a Title I school in Greenville, South Carolina. My school is a high poverty school where all students receive free lunch and free breakfast.
At my school, "Every Student Counts, and Every Moment Matters!" We want the moments that matter most to be those in which our students learn not only the curriculum but life lessons that will carry them through their teenage years and into adulthood.
The students overcome obstacles every day in our school from language barriers to essential needs, but they still come to school with a smile on their face. I want to make their 5th grade year as special as possible. To do that, I need your help!
My Project
The materials in this project will help the students stay excited about reading. The materials will be used to give the students exciting text to read and rewards for reading those text.
The Great Book Challenge will help inspire all students to read no matter their reading level or ability.
In this challenge the students will read books on their level to add to the total number of books read in their class. For every book they read and discuss they get to pick a sticker. The students (one from each 5th grade class) at the end of each month that has read the most books will receive a book. The student at the end of year (one 5th grader) will receive an special prize that will include the reading blanket, bookmarks, and other special things.
Please help me keep my students excited about reading by making more books available for them to read!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
