My Project

This diverse range of novels would greatly benefit my students. Many students play sports, and I believe this could be the key to engaging them. It is crucial to help students find novels they enjoy to help them cultivate a love of reading.

I try to give students time each week to read for fun, and these books will give them a taste of what reading could be like.

My classroom library lacks these novels, and our library has a limited selection. I would greatly appreciate your support in building a love of literacy in these students.

Reading skills are an absolute necessity, no matter what career a student chooses. It will also help them cross-curricular in other classes. Please consider helping students enjoy "real" reading that hooks them and encourages them to read more.

Although you may not know these students individually, you are contributing to a future society of literate and passionate individuals. These books will be an amazing incentive to take risks in learning and in life. They will teach students life skills and lessons. Thank you for your willingness to encourage these students' learning.
