Goal

I would like to be able to purchase all of my students' special request books. Sometimes it is a missing book from a series, sometimes a special author they want to read more books by, etc. Whatever the book is, if we don't have it, the students are allowed to put the title in the "Wish List" box. I want to make all their reading wishes come true.  

 

What will be done with my students

Students will be the "buyers". When they come across a "must have book" they put it in the Wish List box. This year we have had students ask for several new series of books including "The Selection" series by Kiera Cass and the new Rick Riordan "Magnus Chase" series. Whatever the reason behind the request, if a student wants to read, I want to make it happen. In a world that is competing so strongly for our kids' attention, if they are willing to read I want to latch on to that yearning and help to foster their love of reading. The project will be a continuous project but I would like to use the grant money to purchase book requests from the 15-16 school year as well as the 16-17 school year.  

 

Benefits to my students

The benefit here is that we are rewarding students who want to read with more of the books they want to read. Reluctant readers become willing when they can find something that they can connect with in a book. If a student asks me for a special book I will by any means possible try to get the books for them so that I can FEED THEIR HUNGER FOR READING. We are developing lifelong learners. We are building habits now. We must fulfill their longing to read! 

 

Budget Narrative

An individual book breakdown is not available at this time as we will be taking book requests throughout the 16-17 school year.
