Donors Choose: Helping Kids Read

This is a genuinely great charity; you give money directly to a teacher who uses it to fund a project - sometimes as basic as buying books.

I've got a Giving Page here. Please consider donating via it, but if you don't like those projects, please look around the site, find a project you do like, and suggest it for my page. Or just give to it. And remember - you don't have to fully fund a project.

Here's something a teacher whose project was funded said today:

The gift of having books where the students can hear different levels of reading is the best gift possible. This has given my students independence in their listening skills.

When we received the boxes, my students acted as if it was Christmas. They were so excited. They chose books and ask daily if they can read books on tape.

One student in particular comes in early, just to listen to books! What a blessing, she is reading below 1st grade level, but she is trying so hard to catch up to everyone else.

These books have made a big difference in my students attitude towards reading.

Thank you so much for helping my students now and students of the future.
