Help me give my students books! My school has a variety of novels for my 5th grade scholars but no nonfiction books. I would like to improve their informational text comprehension next year with these book club books.
Why Donate Book Club Books to Our 5th Grade Class?
1.
Fuel a Love for Reading
At this critical age, students are forming lifelong reading habits. Donated books give every child access to stories that spark imagination, empathy, and curiosity. When students read together, it builds excitement and helps even reluctant readers become confident ones.
2. Create Equal Opportunities
Not every student can afford their own copy of a book. Donations ensure that every child has the same chance to participate, follow along, and engage fully—no one feels left out.
3. Build a Classroom Community
Book clubs create shared experiences. Students discuss characters, themes, and ideas. They learn to listen, share opinions, and respectfully disagree. Donated books support these conversations and make our classroom a more inclusive, connected space.
4. Support Literacy Across Subjects
Reading builds vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills that benefit students not just in English Language Arts, but in science, history, and math too. Donated books help us broaden our curriculum and enrich learning across the board.
5. Make a Lasting Impact
A single donated book can be used year after year by new groups of students. Your gift today supports dozens of young readers for years to come.
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
