Dear friends, family, and community,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out because our kindergarten classes are in need of new, high-quality decodable books to support our young readers. Right now, the books we have are photocopies, many held together with sharp staples, which not only makes them hard to handle but also far from the engaging reading experience these children deserve.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for sets of durable, child-friendly decodable books that will help our students develop crucial early reading skills. These books are an important tool in helping them learn to read confidently, and we believe having new, real books will make a huge difference in their learning journey.

Your support, whether big or small, would mean the world to me and my kindergarteners. Every contribution will go directly toward purchasing these much-needed resources. If you’re unable to contribute, sharing this campaign with others who might be interested would be just as helpful!

Thank you so much for your time, kindness, and any help you can offer.

With gratitude,

Erin Hasemann

Kindergarten Teacher
