We have three 2nd grade classes. School is a safe and inviting place for them. Most of these children have never been exposed to the magic of books! They do not have access to basic reading materials in their own homes. Due to the lack of funding, we are not able to purchase books to build our classroom library. Studies have shown that discovering the love of reading early is important. A child's reading skills are important to their success in school and work. Reading can be a fun and imaginative activity for children, which opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them. The possibilities are endless for my students if I am able to provide them with the basics to help them discover the treasures found in a book. As Walt Disney said, "There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island."
