The Magic of Reading: Books for My High Poverty, ESL Class
My students need books to transport them to magical lands of their imagination.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Luria's classroom raised $379
This project is fully funded
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
One of my students said this year, "I have only finished two whole books before I read James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. I actually liked reading this book!"
I want all of my students to be hooked on reading.
I have seen my fifth grade students, over 80% of them on free reduced lunch, get inspired by reading this year. Many of my ESL students love The Magic Tree House books and have read every single book that I own from that collection. Other students would like to read more Roalh Dahl books.
My Project
I know that getting students hooked on series books is one of the best way to boost ESL students understanding of English. For this reason, I am requesting books from three different authors that students really relate to.
For my newcomer ESL students, I would like some more Magic Tree House books. This will give them the foundation of reading for fun.
For my intermediate ESL students, I have noticed that they really like the Dahl books, and having a variety that they can read would be beneficial.
For my native English speakers and students who have stronger reading skills, I would like to have them read some A Wrinkle In Time, because our local theater is going to be producing the play this coming year.
Nothing is more important that reading.
I know that if I can get my students hooked on books that they like, they will keep on reading more and more! Please help them become life long lovers of books.
More than half of students from low‑income households
