Mrs. Branch's Grant Wish --

 This project is seeking funding to purchase high-interest, low-level books designed to support English Language Learners (ELLs) and struggling readers in my school. This initiative aims to improve reading engagement and literacy skills among students who face challenges in reading proficiency. By investing in a targeted selection of books that align with their interests and reading levels, I will foster a more inclusive and effective learning environment, ultimately enhancing academic achievement and language acquisition.
         Many students in my school face significant reading challenges due to limited English proficiency or reading difficulties. These students often lack access to appropriate reading materials that are both engaging and accessible at their reading level because often the books that are at their level are elementary picture books. Traditional reading materials can be too advanced or uninteresting, leading to disengagement and slower progress. To address these issues, it is essential to provide books that captivate students’ interests while matching their reading abilities.
