My students come from a low-income area in North Philadelphia where they face many challenges. Despite these obstacles, my first graders walk into my classroom with a passion for learning how to read and improving their below grade-level math skills. At the moment, 85% of my students are below grade level in reading and in math. Before it is too late, my goal is to give these children the tools to succeed academically and feel equipped for today's competing society. Unfortunately, my students have witnessed and been victims to heart- breaking realities. Reading can allow my students to explore and imagine a world where they can dictate their future and essentially change their dreams into realities. .
