Many of my fourth graders have never had access to such a wide variety of high-interest texts, and seeing their faces light up as they discover \"just right\" books has been unforgettable.\r\n\r\nThese books have transformed our reading block. Students who once struggled to stay engaged are now asking for extra reading time, recommending titles to friends, and proudly finishing books they never thought they could tackle. Our classroom library has become a place where students feel safe, inspired, and eager to grow as readers.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just place books on shelves—you opened doors, expanded imaginations, and helped foster a lifelong love of reading.
