Weird and Wild Books Needed

Help me give my students with learning disabilities hi-lo books at their reading level. They are currently interested in mysteries and "spooky" books -- they can't get enough!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

SOS! My older, struggling readers with disabilities are in need of weird, wild and mysterious books because they are turning into voracious readers who LOVE topics that are a little strange and scary!

With your help, students can get group sets of books on topics they crave to read together, discuss and enjoy.

Our kids love sharing their ideas, asking questions and making predictions during their Book Club sessions. As an extra bonus, ALL of my students are becoming more fluent and improving comprehension because they are reading more and engaged in learning.
