Through these books, students practice close reading, inference, and analysis while learning how authors use structure, language, and perspective to convey meaning. Many of the texts also emphasize empathy and critical thinking, inviting students to examine experiences different from their own and to question how society, technology, and power shape individual choices. \r\nThe impact has been especially powerful for students who were previously reluctant or disengaged readers. Many of these students are now choosing to read independently, participating more confidently in discussions, and expressing genuine excitement about characters and themes. English language learners and students who struggle with traditional texts are finding entry points through relatable topics and accessible language, while advanced readers are challenged by complex ideas and moral questions. Across the classroom, these new books are helping students see themselves as readers—and that shift is both lasting and transformative.","fullyFundedDate":1755741088379,"projectUrl":"project/read-for-your-life/9565190/","projectTitle":"Read for Your Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Buchanan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2010547"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9213","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":830,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":57,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.3,"schoolId":9213,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sanger High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sanger High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/sanger-independent-school-district/sanger-high-school/9213"}
