Help me give my students access to engaging nonfiction books that build knowledge, spark curiosity, and support reading growth across science, history, and biographies.
This project will provide high-interest, age-appropriate nonfiction text sets covering themes like life cycles, space, animal adaptations, and inventions.
These themed bundles will help support content learning across science and social studies, while building vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence in reading nonfiction.
The books will be used in small groups, independent reading, and during research projects. My goal is to create a classroom library where every student can find a nonfiction book that excites and informs them, supporting their reading development and natural curiosity.
With your help, my students will develop a love for nonfiction and gain access to real-world content that expands their thinking. These books will support not just academic growth, but also the belief that they are capable of understanding complex ideas and making connections to the world beyond our classroom.
