My second grade classroom library needs 22 high-interest books at Kindergarten and 1st grade reading levels for my students with learning disabilities and students who are English Language Learners.

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.
Hello! I teach 2nd grade in an inclusion classroom at a small Chicago public school. I have 26 amazing students in my class! Nearly all of my students qualify for free lunch and half of my students are English Language Learners.
Learning to read is an essential literacy skill that is necessary for all subject areas! However, most of my students who are English Language Learners are unable to read in English at the 2nd grade level yet. Many of them struggle to read books that are written at a Kindergarten level, but these students do not want to read what they consider "baby books." They want to read chapter books like their classmates!
Our classroom library needs books that look like chapter books, but that are written at a kindergarten or 1st grade level. These books are high-interest but easy to read! With these easy chapter books my struggling readers will have the opportunity to practice reading skills such as word recognition, fluency and comprehension. I also encourage (and most days require!) that my students take a book from our classroom library home with them. So these books will be read and enjoyed at home with family members too!
Through your generous donation my struggling readers will be able to read chapter books just like their classmates! Student will be able to enjoy reading books that are at their reading level and foster a lifelong love of reading - a skill crucial to all academic areas.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my proposal!
More than half of students from low‑income households
