They are such a welcome addition to our classroom library. Classroom libraries directly boost student achievement, motivation, and reading volume by providing immediate access to diverse books. They foster positive reading attitudes, increase reading stamina, and allow for personal, empathetic connections through stories. Key benefits include improved reading scores, greater engagement, and a 35% increase in proficiency for early readers\r\n\r\n A well-stocked library encourages students to make their own choices, fostering confident, independent readers. The books provided by your donations are accessible to even my struggling readers, building their confidence even more. \r\n\r\nOur new books will also be used for an end-of-the-year author study of Mo. Willems. We will explore the techniques that Willems uses and try them out in our own writing.

Many of my students are English Language Learners. These books help them learn vocabulary in context, not in isolation.
