My 12th-grade English students will use these diverse, high-interest titles for independent reading, literature circles, and research projects throughout the year. Many of my seniors are preparing for college or entering the workforce, and providing them with meaningful, engaging reading options helps build literacy skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of reading. Having access to new and contemporary books ensures that every student can find a story that resonates with their interests, culture, and experiences.\r\n\r\nThese books will also support our classroom focus on choice and voice in reading. Students will choose titles that speak to their goals and curiosity, allowing them to connect personally with literature while strengthening comprehension and analytical skills. In addition to reading for enjoyment, students will use these books in literature circles and discussions in both our ERWC and AP Literature classes.\r\n\r\nUltimately, these donated books will create an inviting, inclusive space where reading feels relevant and empowering. With this expanded library, students who once struggled to find something they enjoyed reading will now have access to stories that inspire them, challenge their thinking, and prepare them for success beyond high school.","fullyFundedDate":1753288922786,"projectUrl":"project/ap-lit-thats-lit/9431607/","projectTitle":"AP Lit That's Lit","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9750851"},{"teacherId":8903268,"projectId":9203392,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, our students now have access to menstrual pads and tampons in the restrooms.
