Help me give my students fun and engaging, phonics-based picture books to make learning to read exciting and joyful!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cara's classroom raised $370
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 Project
My students are bright, curious, and determined learners, many of whom are working hard to strengthen their reading skills. Several have learning differences or are still building foundational literacy and language skills.
They thrive when learning is engaging, hands-on, and fun.
I’m requesting phonics-based books that bring decoding rules to life through exciting stories and relatable characters. These books will provide the structured, accessible guidance my students need to grow as confident, joyful readers.
With your support, we can turn the science of reading into an adventure and help every child see themselves as a capable, successful reader!
Nearly all 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
