*FUNDED* VPL Liked This Initiative: " Seriesously .... We Need More Series Books!"
Ms. Nosal is is a grade 3-5 teacher in Providence, RI, with children with limited access to books. She says, "Series books are a great way to engage children with reading and expand their exposure to print while having fun! Giving children access to various series books that they want to read is an investment in their future as lifelong readers." In order for her to get more series books, we have given a seed fund to kick start her campaign.
Ms. Nosal wrote us a note:
"Thank you so much! We appreciate your kindness!"
"Dear VPL vplstore.com,
What an amazing act of kindness your donations are! We are so grateful and cannot thank you enough for your support for our reading. We need books that inspire us to read and think and discuss big ideas. We need to know that others care about our reading development, and your donations are like a whole lot of love coming our way. Thank you so very much! With gratitude,
Ms. Nosal"
So glad to hear the project is now fully funded!
Here is the thank you note from her. What an amazing teacher she is!
"Dear VPL vplstore.com,
You cannot believe how excited the students are to have the beautiful collection of series books that you so generously donated to our school. The books are the talk of the school, and the children are eagerly taking turns and sharing the books. We could not have hoped for a more enthusiastic response, and the excitement keeps growing.
Our students have very limited access to new books. Many are struggling readers and have not had positive experiences with reading. Our dream was to get kids "hooked" on series books, because once they know the characters and the plot devices, they usually build momentum to read the whole series. The more they read, the better they become at reading. We are seeing children proudly walking around with their series books, eager to talk to others about their reading. I am especially heartened by the fact that some of our most struggling readers are feeling so much better about reading. We could not have done this without your support, and for that we are extremely grateful. Thank you so much for believing in the power of putting books into the hands of children. We appreciate your kindness.
With gratitude,
Ms. Nosal"
