Too often it feels like a task to check off, not something to look forward to. My goal is to change that: to help my students fall in love with books and choose to read because they want to, not because they have to.\r\n\r\nI want to build a classroom where books are everywhere, and reading is something we celebrate and share, not something students do alone out of obligation.\r\n\r\nThe book series I've selected is the key to sparking that. When a student finds a character who feels like them, or a story they can't put down, something shifts, they stop seeing themselves as \"a kid who doesn't like reading\" and start seeing themselves as a reader.\r\n\r\nWith the right books in their hands, my students won't just practice reading. They'll discover the joy of it.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make that possible.","fullyFundedDate":1778523424773,"projectUrl":"project/leveling-up-literacy-for-every-learner/10247118/","projectTitle":"Leveling Up Literacy for Every Learner","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Szynski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3669591_orig.jpg?crop=5984,5984,x0,y897&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1553138576132","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-szynski"},{"teacherId":10398983,"projectId":9992073,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\n\r\nThank you so much for supporting our classroom-needs project!
