My students need the right book to draw them into the magic of reading, including graphic novels like Robot Dreams and multicultural stories like We Were Here.
Some of my students have not yet found the right book. One of these books could be the one that finally unlocks their imaginations.
My suburbian students come from an array of cultural backgrounds.
Our school is a gifted and talented school, but I specifically teach struggling readers. These students often feel that they can never measure up to their successful classmates. One of the greatest gifts you can give to a struggling reader is a feeling of completing a book and loving it.
My Project
The books will become a part of my classroom library, which the students can borrow and take home at any time. It gives them instant access to their favorites and creates a culture of readers. I hope that my students learn to reach for a book the moment they get bored. Moreover, I hope that these books become a part of them.
If I can help even one struggling reader fall in love with a story, I've succeeded.
Every single book on my donation form was specifically requested by one of my students. These are the books that they are interested in. This is what will capture their imaginations and make them readers forever.
