With these funds I will...

purchase a class set of National Geographic Young Reader Books and National Geographic DVDs.

With these funds, USC scholars will be empowered to read, write and create projects about places, animals and people they otherwise may not be exposed to! The funds will directly impact USC 2^nd grade scholars' opportunity to grow into well-rounded readers who discuss and understand how our Earth and the animals and people within it operate, change and interact. 

A huge component of 2^nd grade standards require scholars to read, analyze and critically think about informational text. National Geographic Young Reader Books and DVDs provide scholars with a fun, colorful and interactive exposure to non-fiction content ranging from animals (penguins, lizards, etc) to biographies (Nelson Mandela, MLK Jr., Amelia Earhart, etc).

USC scholars deserve these resources because they have worked relentlessly to grow as readers this year! They are now eager and hungry for more exposure to non-fiction text to expand their knowledge and prepare them for the challenges of 3^rd grade non-fiction literary analysis. Not to mention, these National Geographic non-fiction readers and videos have high-interest topics that even the most disengaged 2^nd grade readers will be instantly invested in reading and exploring the contents!

Thank you for supporting USC 2nd grade scholars and helping to provide us with the opportunity to expand our exposure to and knowledge through literacy!
