Reading is the foundation of lifelong learning, curiosity, and success. I am seeking support to build a classroom library that will not only enrich my students’ daily learning experiences but also foster a lasting love of reading. By raising funds, I can provide high-quality, diverse books that reflect my students’ interests, backgrounds, and dreams—books they can enjoy both in the classroom and at home. Research consistently shows that children who are read to regularly and who have access to books develop stronger language skills, greater empathy, and improved academic performance. The science of reading emphasizes that early and consistent exposure to rich, meaningful texts strengthens neural pathways essential for comprehension and critical thinking. These early experiences are directly linked to future success in school and beyond.
