Project Title: Dayspring Literacy Corner: Expanding Access to Books for Middle School Students
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Dayspring Academy is seeking support to establish the Dayspring Literacy Corner, a shared
\nreading space for approximately 300 students in grades 6-7. The Literacy Corner will transform a
\ncentral assembly area into an inviting reading hub with open bookshelves and a carefully selected
\ncollection of engaging books. The collection will include high-interest fiction, STEM-related
\nnonfiction, and visually engaging books that encourage creativity and connect reading with
\nartistic expression.
\nStudent input will play an important role in building the collection. Before selecting titles,
\nstudents will complete a brief reading interest survey to identify the genres, authors, and topics
\nthey are most excited to explore. This ensures that the book collection reflects student interests
\nand encourages greater engagement with reading.
\nLocated in a space students pass multiple times each day, the Literacy Corner will make books
\nhighly visible and easily accessible, encouraging spontaneous reading, peer recommendations,
\nand informal reading groups. Teachers will also incorporate the space into independent reading
\ntime and literacy support activities.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $3,000<\/p>\n
