The Wolf Pack: "A good book and time to read it."

The Description
A lot of people talk about closing the achievement gap. Our students are actively doing it. From 2016 to 2017, reading proficiency at our school rose by 12%. If we maintain the current trajectory of growth, we will literally close the achievement gap between our students and their more affluent counterparts in the state of Pennsylvania in 1 or 2 years.
A key piece of our literacy approach is, quite simply: "A good book and time to read it."
We are seeking funds to increase the number of high interest books that our students can choose to read during independent reading time. Specifically, we want to add an average of 5 books per child for the 2017 - 2018 school year. We will do this through ordering 12 of the American Reading Company's Leveled Text Set series, which cost $965 per 100 books. These resources are student and teacher-friendly, and represent the quickest path to get great books into the hands of our students.
Back Up Plan
If we do not reach our goal, we will purchase as many text sets as we're able to. If we do not have a multiple of $965, then we will order as many text sets as we can, and order additional titles through Scholastic.

Of course, this comes from a former first grade teacher...
