This year I was handed a group of reluctant readers. They started the year complaining about every book we had to read. We started with The Hobbit and by the end of it, they were LOVING Tolkein. We read A Christmas Carol and by the time we find out Tiny Tim does not die, they were invested in Scrooge. Restart by Gordon Korman was a fan favorite and tells such a good story about how people can change and how forgivness is necessary. My students hung on every word of that book! We are currently reading Projekt 1065 and my students can't put it down!! That being said, summer is quickly approaching and I would LOVE to put a new book in each child's hands before they leave for break! Each summer children "slide" down a little from a lack of practice over the summer and I want to prevent that! If you have even $1 to help me get a book in a child's hands, that would be AMAZING! I know money doesn't grow on trees, but I would be so appreciative of anything you can spare! Help me help these kids continue to grow this summer!!
