Providing students with choices in their reading has been shown time and again to increase students' engagement and performance. Students are able to select a book that is not only at their level, but is high interest. By 6th grade, student reading levels and interests vary so much that it is difficult to find a single text that relates to each student in the class.\r\n\r\nThe books from this project filled a few gaps in our library. One of the best ways to get a student reading is by finding them a series to read, as it provides them with several books to read just by finding one that they enjoy. Many of the most loved series in our library were missing books or had fallen into disrepair from years of use. This project allowed us to fill in missing gaps in series and provide many more years of reading to come!","fullyFundedDate":1767220365192,"projectUrl":"project/series-books-in-the-library/9780434/","projectTitle":"Series Books in the Library","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carrie","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3826424_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1474649257972","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carrie-irwin"},{"teacherId":3826424,"projectId":9688789,"letterContent":"Technology use in schools today is constantly changing and evolving.
