My school is located in a high poverty area of our city. Many of my students come to school without having read a book or having books read to them. We do as much as we can to get books into their hands and their homes, but it never seems to be enough. Our school was labeled a failing school because of our test scores. Even with this label, our students rose above and set the standard for how hard schools and their students need to work to overcome the most difficult odds. We are now considered a model school in our district. During our day, my students are given several opportunities to practice their reading skills and to hear stories read to them. Their faces light up and they wait with eager anticipation during our read aloud time. They will ask to hear the same story read three or four times, enjoying it just as much as they did the first time. Those stories are the first to disappear out of our classroom library for them to look at throughout the week.
