To meet the needs of students who are reading at the same level across grades and classrooms, Yours Humanly donated $10,000 worth of English-language and bilingual leveled readers to Grace Patterson Elementary School in Vallejo, California.<\/p>\n

Grace Patterson is a Title 1 school that serves more than 375 students from transitional kindergarten through 6th grade. Students use leveled readers written in a variety of fiction and nonfiction categories to develop the early literacy skills they need to move forward with reading fluency and comprehension.<\/p>\n

While classrooms are considered homogeneous for grade level, they are heterogeneous for ability. Within a grade, students are at different points in their reading abilities. Leveled readers are written at a variety of reading and instructional levels allowing teachers to provide small group instruction to increase students\u2019 literacy skills and reading abilities.<\/p>\n

Grace Patterson needs multiple sets of leveled books, and this is where Yours Humanly stepped in with its donation, the impact of which will be felt by the current school population and by all students who attend Grace Patterson in the future.<\/p>\n

This project was made possible through our Coloring Futures<\/a> initiative, which supports and strengthens literacy programs and goals for children in need. View photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n
